Minister grabs Joshua Nkomo's land

Controversial Masvingo provincial minister, Kudakwashe Bhasikiti working in cahoots with a private company is expropriating land at the Chingwizi transit camp owned by the late Vice President Joshua Nkomo.

The contested ranch is registered in the name of the Development Trust of Zimbabwe which was founded by the late Vice President in 1989 when it was then earmarked to produce bio-fuels in Zimbabwe's Lowveld region.

Bhasikiti's alleged seizure of the land, ostensibly working in cahoots with a group of senior directors at the Tongaat Hulett owned Triangle Pvt Limited puts in jeopardy the welfare of at least 3 000 families who were moved in February.
