Prominent Zanu PF farmer evicts 5 families for supporting MDC-T

ZVIMBA – A former Zipra commander who was also the late Dr Joshua Nkomo’s personal bodyguard, Frederick Mutanda, has evicted five families from their homes at his Winray Estates farm, out into the open space, because they are supporters of the MDC-T led by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.

One of those evicted is Sebastian Mawara the MDC-T aspiring councillor for Zvimba North in Ward 14. In the two pictures sent by a Nehanda Radio Citizen Reporter you can see Mawara’s family and four other families sleeping out in the open with their property. They have been sleeping outside for two days now.

Many will recall that in February 2011, Mutanda, now a prominent Zanu PF farmer and businessman was arraigned to court for resisting a government order to vacate the very same farm. The farm had been allocated to Andrew Maringa, a former senior official in the President’s Office (CIO).

At the time, the targeting for compulsory acquisition of Mutanda’s farm raised suspicion because mainly white owned farms were targeted under the chaotic and often violent exercise. Mutanda is now allegedly evicting workers from the farm based on their perceived political affiliation.
