Bulawayo (ZimEye) – Evicted from a Bulawayo City Council farm, scores of families who are Zanu-PF supporters have invaded a Zanu-PF official’s house.

The families on Friday moved to Zanu-PF official Lilian Kandemiri’s Emganwini house stating that she was the one who allocated the settlers land on the disputed council farm.

Recently Bulawayo council was granted a High Court order to evict the settlers and dumped them along the Bulawayo-Plumtree Road in Matabeleland South.

Matabeleland South governor Angeline Masuku (pictured) confirmed the development.

Masuku said authorities in the province had resolved to take the settlers to Renkini Long Distance Bus Terminus in Bulawayo so that they could go to their rural homes, but left them at Kandemiri’s home after they requested to go there.

“Transport was then organised to ferry them to Renkini but the settlers insisted that they wanted to go to Kandemiri’s place. I don’t know why they wanted to go there but at the end of the day democracy prevailed so that is where they are,” she said.

Most of the settlers moved onto the farm three years ago and have been resisting efforts to evict them.

Some family members were separated during the eviction while others also complained that their property was damaged.

The settlers left behind their crops while others said they had lost their livestock when they moved.

Zanu-PF has continued with land invasions regardless of calls by the coalition government to halt the land grab.
