According to court papers, Warren Hills Golf Club is a
voluntary association formed for recreational purposes, operating a golf club
in Warren Park.
In the declaration filed alongside the summons, the
property developer said it was the owner of stand number 8113 Warren Park
Township of Warren Park, Harare by virtue of deed of transfer 1027483/2008
issued to it by the Registrar of Deeds on September 26, 2008, the very place
where the association operates its golf club.
“Defendant (Warren Hills Golf Club) has been in occupation
of the premises by virtue of a lease agreement between it and City of Harare,
the previous owner of the land, which lease of agreement expired on April 30,
2019,” it said.
“From April 30, 2019 to date, defendant holds no valid
lease with the plaintiff (Sunshine Development (Pvt) Ltd) and has spurned all
efforts by the plaintiff to sign a lease and has not been paying any rentals to
plaintiff.”
The property developer further said the golf club was of
the mistaken belief that the land belonged to the City of Harare whereas the
land was privately owned.
The developer said despite demands, Warren Hills Golf Club
had refused to vacate the property, prejudicing the company of a rental base
sum of US$460 per month which is the current monthly rental value of the
premises payable in local currency at the equivalent auction rate.
Warren Hills Golf Club is yet to respond to the matter.
