Over 150 illegal settlers have re[ortedly invaded the farm belonging to business tycoon and Zanu PF Zvimba South legislator Cde Philip Chiyangwa.
The former ZIFA president told The Herald in an interview that he had approached the courts to have the settlers evicted from his 3 467 hectare citrus farm near Chinhoyi.
The Herald reports that the defiant settlers are erecting structures and clearing land in preparation for the 2020-21 farming season. Speaking the state-run publication, Chiyangwa said:
<blockquote>We have taken the matter to the courts and the invaders have been served with notices of vacation. A security company dealing with the invaders will help remove the invaders from the farm.</blockquote>
Reports of illegal settlers or farm invaders have been on the rise with some doing so for purposes of illegal gold panning.
Some of the victims of farm invasions are the former first lady Grace Mugabe and former Local Government minister Saviour Kasukuwere.

Philip Chiyangwa's Farm Invaded

The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA), has disbanded the entire national men’s team from the technical to the players.
Following ZIFA’s Executive Meeting held in the Capital on Wednesday, the association said that the reason for dissolving the entire team is the need for reconstruction.
The decision is in line with recommendations from the Technical and Development Committee.
The football body also resolved to overlook for selection, players whose desire to play for the national team is questionable.
A new technical set-up will be announced in due course.
Zifa has also handed life bans to former president Philip Chiyangwa and his assistant Omega Sibanda.
The duo is accused of bringing local football into disrepute through the 2019 COSAFA Cup bid fiasco which saw the Warriors banned from next year’s edition.

<blockquote>There have been posts for a while now under my name on Twitter and some relatives alerted me. Having thought they made good sense, but I knew where this was headed. These people start like this and start to destroy your good name with time. So I applied to shut down the Twitter account and cheers to the pretender.</blockquote>

Zifa and COSAFA president Philip Chiyangwa mourned the death of Zanu-PF politburo member and Masvingo Provincial Affairs Minister Shuvai Mahofa who died after collapsing early yesterday morning.
Said Chiyangwa:
<blockquote>We are shocked beyond words to say the least. She was a giant in Zimbabwean politics, the party and indeed her family are poorer without her today.
She contributed not only to the emancipation of women, but also in making sure that the gains of the liberation struggle were safeguarded. She also ensured that she remained faithful to the rules of the revolutionary party and in turn inculcated positive energy into everything she did for Zimbabwe, which is why she was eventually appointed Provincial Affairs Minister in Masvingo.
As we mourn her sudden death, we will never forget the values she stood for and we salute her as a gallant daughter of the soil.
On behalf of the ZIFA executive committee, the assembly , the secretariat , COSAFA and on my own behalf, I would like to express profound sadness to the President of Zimbabwe, Cde R.G Mugabe, the Mahofa family, the ruling Zanu PF party and Zimbabwe on the fall of a giant. May Her Dearest Soul Rest In Eternal Peace.</blockquote>

ZIFA president<a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Philip_Chiyangwa"> Philip Chiyangwa</a> has obtained a court order barring freelance photographer Lazarus Riva from troubling the football governing association over claims that he is owed more than $30 000 for services rendered to the soccer mother body.
Riva has over the last year been trying to attach <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Football_Association_(ZIFA)">ZIFA</a> property on claims that the association owed him large sums of money for allegedly taking photographs at the association’s official functions. ZIFA have been disputing the said debt, arguing that Riva was neither their official photographer nor did he submit pictures worth over $30 000 to the association.
