This was after Malunga had won a High Court order to stop
Mpofu from evicting him.
Mpofu then appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn the
order, but lost the case yesterday.
Malunga, who is son of the late nationalist Sydney Malunga,
co-owns Kershelmar Farm, popularly known as Esikadeni in Nyamandlovu, with his
business associates Charles Moyo and Zephania Dhlamini.
The Supreme Court described Mpofu’s taking over of the farm
as a “brazen invasion” which was done without following due process.
The court ordered Mpofu to vacate the farm and desist from
disrupting operations.
In the Supreme Court appeal, Mpofu, his wife Sikhanyisiwe
and their company Mswelangubo Farm Ltd claimed to have taken over Esikhadeni
Farm on the basis that they had an offer letter.
But the court ruled that they had no right to resort to
self-help in taking over possession without following due process of the law.
