Eighteen villagers from Mazwi Village on the outskirts of Bulawayo are facing eviction from their homes after they were told to leave the area when they went to the council to pay for the stands.
According to Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP), In 2013 they were issued with eviction notices by the City Council.
"From then on no action was taken and the area Ward 17 councillor, Ephraim Ncube even assured them they were now allowed to stay. However, when they went to the housing office to pay rates they were told they were not on council records. On 24 March 2016, they were ordered to leave or face demolitions. They believe they are being victimised on political grounds," reported ZPP.
