Mphoko in yet another storm

Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko was on Wednesday caught in yet another eye of a storm when he paid an impromptu visit to Carswell Farm in Mashonaland West province under the guise of resolving a land dispute.

The farm is at the centre of an ownership dispute between Carswell Montana Meats and Joseph Dzvaka Chirau.

The latter claims to be in possession of a government-issued offer letter dated 2005.

According to sources privy to the visit, the VP claimed his mission had been sanctioned by First Lady Grace Mugabe.

Mphoko, however, had to leave in a huff after local Zanu-PF politicians questioned his unannounced visit and interest in the disputed property.
