No compensation for evicted villagers, says Mahofa

Shuvai Mahofa Masvingo Provincial Affairs minister yesterday said the 22 villagers set to be evicted today from Chomfuli Farm on the outskirts of Mpandawana Growth Point in Gutu will not receive any government compensation for the structures they set up.

Mahofa said the villagers had been erroneously settled on a farm allocated to the Zimbabwe National Army at Independence in 1980.

The evictions are set to start today to pave way for a group of soldiers from 4.2 Infantry Battalion although villagers have vowed to resist the move.
