Zvishavane villagers lose land to bank

VILLAGERS in Mudereri, Zvishavane, have lost part of their land to FBC Building Society after it was sold to the bank by the rural district council.

It is alleged that the bank has started developing a residential area without prior notice to the villagers.

The 34 villagers sought the court’s intervention, but their application was thrown out by High Court judge Justice Siyabona Paul Musithu who ruled that they were trying to deceive the courts.
