This is the scene at Water Vlei Farm along Seke Road in
Chitungwiza as farm workers attacked staff of the Messenger of Court as they
enforced an eviction order.
The Messenger of Court forced entry into houses by breaking
locks using a bolt cutter and dumped possessions and furniture along Seke Road,
leaving more than 50 families stranded. Workers
said the farm previously belonged to a sand quarrying syndicate called
Supersands, whose owners allowed them to stay on the land.
The white owners left the farm during the Land Reform
Programme in 2000, but left the workers in the compound.
