No joy for Spitzkop residents, as co-op appeals judgment

A HARARE housing cooperative has appealed a High Court judgment that gave an interim relief to more than 4 000 residents facing eviction from Spitzkop Farm, Zvimba, to allow for a re-pegging exercise.

The residents, Greater Spitzkop Residents Association,  had sued their housing cooperative, Vevhu Resources, together with Local Government minister July Moyo, also cited Zvimba Rural District Council (RDC), NIFS Investments  Pvt Ltd  and Vevhu Marketing Investments last year, to stop the planned evictions.

But Vevhu Resources have filed an appeal saying Justice Neville Wamambo erred and misdirected in granting the interim order stopping the evictions.
