Zanu-PF chairman in trouble

Gomwe's bail ruling tomorrow Zanu-PF Harare province youth league chairperson Godwin Gomwe, who is in remand prison, has once again been dragged to the High Court on an urgent basis for allegedly invading land situated in Harare's Westlea suburb.

In the latest urgent chamber application filed at the High Court, Tapson Dzvetero representing Bradha Engineering Company Private Limited, which claims to own 25 hectares of land situated opposite Mr Maplanka Timber Sales, accuses Gomwe of invading the property.

Gomwe is accused of working in cahoots with Innocent Mango of Final Hope Housing Cooperative, Clever Musa of Josiah Tongogara Housing Cooperative and 3 others to invade the land on the 8th of January this year.

The applicant claims to have used almost a million dollars in servicing 196 stands on the land in question.

According to the application, by the 25th of May, a final court order granted to stop the respondents from further occupying the stands fell on deaf ears.

Gomwe is said to have roped in the services of approximately 40 bouncers who allegedly went on a rampage interrupting the legal owners of the land.

The respondents have allegedly occupied 96 stands of the property in question purportedly representing housing cooperatives seriously compromising operations at the land in question.

The applicant prays for the matter to be heard urgently as all efforts to approach relevant authorities who include the Deputy Attorney General and the Ministry of Local Government have been without success.

The applicant also prays for an order barring the respondents from illegally occupying the 196 stands.
