Chinese Company Seeks To Evict 20 000 Domboshava Villagers

A Chinese company is seeking to evict 20 000 villagers from their land in Domboshava to pave way for the extraction of quarry stones. This was revealed by the Deputy Minister of Information, Media and Communication Services, Energy Mutodi. He said:

I have prematurely ended my ZITF tour in order to attend to villagers in Domboshava who are claiming a Chinese company is planning to evict 20 000 individuals from their land after it was granted mining rights to extract quarry stones from a hill in their area.

Mutodi represents Goromonzi West in the National Assembly and is a close ally of President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

It remains to be seen if the Chinese will be able to get their way since in Zimbabwe mining rights supersede the right to occupation.
