Zapu fights for locals to get stands

ZAPU has joined villagers at Cabatsha settlement on the outskirts of Bulawayo in challenging Local Government minister, Saviour Kasukuwere’s move to allocate residential stands at the Mvutsha Farm to outsiders.

The farm, located close to Cabatsha settlement, was grabbed from a white commercial farmer, Rick Burton and is earmarked for development of residential stands for Zanu PF youths.

Zapu deputy spokesperson, Iphithule Maphosa, said his party was bracing for a bruising legal fight with Kasukuwere after it emerged that locals would not be considered in the housing scheme.
