Tourism minister Walter Mzembi is threatening to grab a lucrative chicken breeding farm in Masvingo
The land grab which will go against promoting the Brand Zimbabwe that
Mzembi so tirelessly advertises also comes at a time when President
Robert Mugabe has issued statements threatening the few remaining whites
in the country.
According to a report in the NewsDay, Mzembi obtained an offer letter
from the lands ministry dated February 20 2015 to take over the
remaining 367 hectares of Banquest Extension Farm, a farm being run by a
prominent Masvingo chicken breeder Helen Mitchell. The other part of
the farm was resettled to indigenous black farmers.
The Mitchells run Masvingo Chicks Company which is the only chicken
breeder that supplies the whole of Masvingo province, dishing out 100
000 day-old chicks and 50 000 eggs per week. They have been in the
poultry business and horticulture for more than four decades.
NewsDay also said the Mitchells couple has always been donating to
Zanu PF functions as well as several orphanages and schools in the
province.
