Former Zanu PF Youth League deputy secretary Lewis Matutu
and his associates have been barred by the High Court from entering or
occupying a farm in Kwekwe belonging to Mr Onsimo Zhavairo.
Justice Pisirayi Kwenda recently handed down a final order
interdicting Matutu and his associates after he granted an interim interdict
and spoliation order in December last year.
The Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Water and Rural
Resettlement was cited as the second respondent in the application by Mr
Zhavairo after his farm was invaded by Zanu-PF youths led by Matutu who was the
first respondent.
Justice Kwenda ordered that Matutu and his associates
should not enter subdivision 7 of Bezuidenhouts Kraal in Kwekwe and refrain
from being violent towards Mr Zhavairo, his family and employees.
Mr Zhavairo, in his court papers, said he had been living
on the farm for the past 14 years and had an offer letter issued in November
2015.
The invaders allegedly slaughtered a pig and four goats
before harvesting butter-nuts.
They allegedly went ahead to chase away Mr Zhavairo’s
workers, forcing them to sleep on the road. Herald
