CHIPINGE – Members of the controversial Johanne Marange Apostolic sect loyal to President Robert Mugabe have invaded one of Zimbabwe’s biggest dairy farms.

A few individuals from the sect, who are directly benefiting from Zanu (PF), 
and some youth militia invaded Spillemeer Farm last Wednesday. Other sect 
members were quick to dissociate themselves from the invasion.

“I can confirm there was an invasion of a farm in Chipinge. This was done by 
some individuals who have been given money and presents from Zanu (PF). God does not call for such action. It is unholy for church members to invade 
someone’s property,” said a senior member.

The sect’s leader, Noah Taguta, a well-known Zanu (PF) supporter, reportedly 
masterminded the invasion. The farmer, Francois Kotze, said that he was in 
the process of moving off his property. “I was intimidated by some youths. 
They have an offer letter that claims the farm belongs to them,” said Kotze.

The Commercial Farmers Union is trying to negotiate with the invaders to 
allow farmers to continue their operations. CFU President Deon Theron said 
the suspension of the SADC Tribunal had made an already bad situation even 
worse. The few remaining commercial farmers face a fresh onslaught of 
invasions by Zanu (PF) land grabbers, in the wake of the closure of the 
regional human rights court.
