The High Court on Monday granted former Education Minister, Dzingai Mutumbuka leave to execute an eviction order against Harrison Marange and his wife Demetria Zirenga from his Chisipite home in Harare pending an appeal the couple made at the Supreme Court.
Justice Katiyo sitting at the High Court in Harare
described Marange and Zirenga’s continued fight against Mutumbuka over the
house as inhuman and mischievous and ordered that they be immediately evicted
despite their appeal against the eviction at the High Court.
He expressed shock at how the couple continue to persecute
Mutumbuka by insisting on staying in his house when the evidence is clear that
he is the legitimate owner of the house.
Instead, he said, what Marange and Zirenga should do is to
show remorse and apologise to Mutumbuka for depriving him of his house for
several years and causing him inconveniences.
“Your persistence is mischievous. From the word go, the
Deeds Office said Mutumbuka is the owner. Where is humanity?” asked Justice
Katiyo.
Marange and Zirenga were ordered out of Mutumbuka’s house
by Justice Priscilla Munangati Manongwa on November 13, 2024 after it was
determined that they bought the former Minister’s house from Jonah Ngome who
forged Mutumbuka’s deeds.
Last week Marange and Zirenga who took over Mutumbuka’s
house and had people staying there appealed against the eviction order at the
Supreme Court. Mutumbuka’s lawyer Tomukudza Mudzimbasekwa then appealed for
leave to execute the eviction. Masvingo Mirror
