The High Court has ordered more than 1 000 families settled around the Aspindale area in Harare to stop housing developments and vacate the site owned by a land developer, Marimba Industrial Properties.
High Court judge Justice Charles Hungwe granted the order on July 24 after Marimba Industrial Properties claimed ownership of the land, which according to a Government Gazette dated October 22, 2010, belongs to the State.
Several housing co-operatives had sold pieces of land to their members at the site.
The court ordered the respondents, cited as Tinashe Maduza, Cossum Munemo, Gardner Machona, Vineyard Housing Co-operative and Nodville Housing Co-operative, to stop construction on the land and remove all their equipment from the site
