Thirty-one families are facing imminent eviction from a farm in Banket measuring more than 624 hectares to accommodate Chief Zvimba, born Stanley Wurayayi Mhondoro.
According to <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/over-30-families-face-eviction-from-farm-to-pave-way-for-chief-zvimba/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>, Ben Mutambu and 20 others appeared before a Chinhoyi magistrate last week and were granted US$40 bail each for illegally occupying gazetted land.
On Monday, 12 February, Vitalis Guviro (56) of Plot 8 Lion Kopje farm, Banket was arraigned before Chinhoyi Magistrate Rumbidzai Tshuma charged with contravening Section 3 (1) of the Gazetted Land (Consequential Provisions) Act Chapter 20:28 for refusing to vacate part of the property that now belongs to Chief Zvimba.
Guviro was remanded on bail to 26 February for trial when an application for joinder with co-accused persons will be tendered.
The complainant in the matter is the State represented by lands officer, Wilfred Bika.
Prosecuting, Brighton Machekera alleged that on 06 July 2001, the Government of Zimbabwe acquired and gazetted Lion Kopje farm measuring 624.402 ha in extent.
The farm situated in the Zvimba District was planned by the relevant ministry and initially parcelled out to A1 farmers, who were granted offer letters.
It is further alleged that on 30 June 2010, the farm was changed to an A2 (commercial) farm and all A1 offer letters were withdrawn by the Ministry of Lands, including Plot 8 where Guviro is residing.
The whole of Lion Kopje farm was subsequently allocated to Chief Zvimba who was granted an offer letter in 2012.
It was heard the accused person was served with a withdrawal of land offer and also handed a relocation offer, but he refused to sign it.
This comes as the Government has embarked an exercise dubbed “Operation Order No To Land Barons” to remove people accused of being irregularly settled on State land.
Over the past few weeks, scores of villagers who have been living on the land for the past two decades have been arraigned before the courts for alleged illegal settlement and are now homeless.

Dozens Of Families Face Eviction From Farm To Pave Way For Chief Zvimba

The City of Harare has advised residents and home seekers who recently acquired offer letters for land to visit the Town House to verify the authenticity of the documents.
In a public notice, Town Clerk Hosiah Chisango said that some corrupt officials have been generating offer letters without Council authority and parcelling out land on wetlands. Reads the notice:
<blockquote>
It has come to our attention that there are several offer letters that are being generated and offered without Council authority.
The majority of these offer letters are being backdated before being fraudulently offered to unsuspecting home seekers who are then instructed to settle on wetlands and land meant for other purposes.
Council is therefore calling on individuals who recently ‘acquired’ stands from the City of Harare to come forward with their offer letter and proof of payment to the TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE AT TOWN HOUSE for verification.
Please note that Council will not be held responsible for any offer letters or allocations that were and are still being fraudulently acquired.
</blockquote>
Over the years, politically-connected land barons have been illegally selling land to desperate home seekers and prejudicing local authorities of millions of dollars.
Residents have also suffered financial losses when local authorities destroy homes built on land acquired illegally.

City Of Harare Warns Home Seekers Over Fake Offer Letters

Harare East MP, Tendai Biti (CCC), has said the government must give war veterans title deeds of farms they acquired during the Land Reform Programme, reported <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/whites-commercial-interests-dominating-zimbabwe-says-biti-urges-govt-to-give-war-vets-farms-title-deeds/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>.
Biti said the majority of war veterans are wallowing in poverty and have nothing to show for their contribution to the country’s liberation.
Debating in the National Assembly on Thursday, Biti argued that the ex-combatants should not be given offer letters which have no security. He said:
<blockquote>
The first thing we need to do is to give title deeds to war veterans of the farms that they acquired. You cannot make them subject to the offer letter.
The greatest service we can do to war veterans, number one is to give them title deeds to the farms that they benefitted from as a result of the Land Reform Programme.
The offer letter is non-securitised and in breach of Chapter 16 of the Constitution. The offer letter, just like their constituencies, can go just like the wind – bhururu bhururu, yabhururuka seshiri.
</blockquote>
When Biti said war veterans’ “constituencies, can go just like the wind”, he was referring to Buhera South MP Joseph Chinotimba who led the farm invasions in 2000 and recently lost his constituency in the ZANU PF primaries. He added:
<blockquote>
Let us give them security of tenure kuti chanoti chandakarwirawo ndechichi. Chandinosiirawo vazukuru vangu ndechichi, that land and if we say the basis of the Land Reform Programme was the land, then the basis of the reward of the war veteran must be the land.
That should be the starting point. Why are we afraid to give war collaborators the land? Let us give them title deeds.
Land was the basis of the liberation struggle and hence ownership of it is deemed to have the potential of socially and economically empower veterans and their dependents.
</blockquote>
Around the year 2000, Zimbabwe embarked on a fast-track land reform programme which was largely violent in nature.
Vast tracks of land were seized from white farmers and parcelled among landless black families.
However, the chaotic nature of the programme has been blamed for Zimbabwe’s economic challenges as production on farms collapsed and western countries imposed sanctions on the country.

Biti Challenges Govt To Give War Veterans Title Deeds For Farms

Resettled farmers have defied a directive to submit annual production returns, reported <a href="https://businesstimes.co.zw/farmers-defy-govt/">Business Times</a>.
The government plans to use the annual production returns as a basis to issue A1 permits and 99-year leases for A2.
Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development Minister Anxious Masuka recommended that a Statutory Instrument (SI) should be gazetted to enforce the directive. He said:
<blockquote>
We recommend that the annual production and productivity returns should be (done) to guide production and investment. An SI should be issued to make it mandatory for A1 and A2 farmers to submit these annual returns.
This (submission of returns) is an audit on how the farmers are utilising their land, which will decide whether they deserve to have the entire farms to themselves or should share with others or even be moved to smaller land portions that they can fully utilise.
</blockquote>
In 2021, the government threatened to remove all the farmers who fail to submit the returns forms but farmers have not complied with the directive.
Zimbabwe Commercial Farmers Union (ZCFU) president Shadreck Makombe called on farmers to submit the returns forms as required. He said:
<blockquote>
We urge all farmers, be it A1 or A2, to submit the annual production and productivity return forms on time to fast-track the issuance of securitised documents.
All farmers should submit and you never know the day when others will get the securitised documents.
</blockquote>
In March 2022, Masuka said the returns will be used to assess if they qualify to be issued with a 99-year lease.
