Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Bulawayo High Court has ordered Dumisani Madzivanyati, a lecturer at the National University of Science and Technology (NUST) to leave Esidakeni farm he had invaded in July.<\/p>\n

Madzivanyati occupied Esidakeni Farm in Umguza, Matabeleland North, claiming the Lands Ministry had allocated him a portion of the 555-hectare property.<\/p>\n

Esidakeni is owned by Kershelmar Farms (Pvt) Ltd, a company whose shareholders are the human rights advocate Siphosami Patrick Malunga, NUST scientist Zephaniah Dhlamini and gold miner Charles Moyo.<\/p>\n

Justice Martin Makonese also slapped Madzivanyati with costs after ruling he had no authority to take matters into his own hands. Justice Makonese ruled last Friday:<\/p>\n

There can be no doubt that respondent (Madzivanyati) has sought to resort to self-help in attempting to assert what he perceives as his rights. Respondent has no right to resort to self-help,\u201d<\/p>\n

In the result, the applicants have clearly satisfied the requirements for a spoliation order.<\/p>\n

The court ordered Madzivanyati and individuals claiming ownership of the farm through him to \u201cremove or cause the removal of themselves and all such persons within 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Justice Makonese ordered Madzivanyati to \u201crestore to the applicant possession of all its farming equipment including irrigation pipes.\u201d within 24-hours adding that the sheriff of this court or his lawful deputy will evict him if he fails to do so.<\/p>\n

The court heard that Madzivanyati caused disruptions at the farm, tampered with the borehole, and made his own connections and installations starving the applicants\u2019 tomatoes and butternut crops of water.<\/p>\n

This then prompted the trio to approach the High Court with an urgent chamber application seeking to interdict Madzivanyati from interfering, which was granted.<\/p>\n
