Gadzika claims in his court papers that Mudede had deprived
him of access to at least 60 hectares of farmland at Ballineety Farm in Mazowe
which they share, after the former RG, who was only allocated subdividion 1 of
the farm, applied for more land from subdivisions 1 to 13, leaving only
subdivision 14 for him. He said he had made a similar complaint to the Charles
Utete-led Lands Commission.
“The disputed area contains some boreholes which I use to
irrigate my crop. Mudede is denying me use of boreholes and electricity
transformers in the disputed boundaries. He has threatened to evict some of my
workers from the compound without notice or a court order.”
Gadzika said he had to seek the High Court’s intervention
upon realisation that the Land Commission did not have statutory powers to
direct Mudede to stop his unlawful activities.
“I, therefore, humbly pray for an order directing Mudede to
refrain from fencing disputed boundaries, stopping him from denying me access
to boreholes and electricity from transformers on the disputed boundary,
stopping him from evicting my workers from the compound without notice and a
court order,” submitted Gadzika.
Mudede is yet to respond to the application. Newsday
