IN the sleepy rural landscape of Hurungwe’s, Mubairachena Village, under Chief Chundu, a gruesome triple murder shook the community to its core a few weeks ago.
In Hurungwe, one of the hardest-hit areas, white commercial farmers were driven off their land by mobs of indigenous black farmers, often with the tacit support of the government.
Hurungwe Rural District Council acting chief executive officer Felistus Muteta said the processing plant falls under the council’s value-addition thematic area.
The villagers argued that the evictions would be unlawful, illegal and in contravention of section 74 of the Constitution, which guarantees freedom from arbitrary eviction.
Speaking during a stakeholders meeting recently, tobacco players, government ministries and farmers deliberated on how the town can add value in the tobacco sector.
However, it seems the programme was shunned by some members of the apostolic sects due to religious beliefs, if the recent outbreak is anything to go by.
