Gwede is being sued by Machinya who is the farm manager of
Plot 20 Eastdale.
The Minister of Lands, Agriculture and Rural Resettlement
Dr Anxious Masuka is cited as the other respondent in the papers filed at
Harare Magistrates Court on Tuesday last week.
In the summons served on Gwede by the messenger of court,
Machinya says that his brother-in-law Cryton Munyikwa is the legitimate owner
of Plot 20 and he was appointed farm manager to run all the affairs of the
farm.
On a date not mentioned in the summons, Gwede who is the
most powerful civil servant in the district in terms of land allocation
forcibly evicted Machinya’s employees from the farm without notice and
immediately took over.
Machinya says in his summons that he had planted maize on
the farm and this was all destroyed by neighbours’ cattle after his employees
were chased away by Gwede. He says that the total damage suffered is valued at
US$3 000.
Machinya is represented by Messrs Tafirei and Company Legal
Practitioners. Masvingo Mirror
