A bid to invade farms in Inyathi by two war veterans has landed them in trouble as they appeared in court facing charges of intimidation and theft.Stanley Ncube (60) and Andrew Ndlovu (56), were remanded out of custody by Bulawayo magistrate, Abednicho Dube on US$30 bail each and will appear in court this week.
They were further ordered not to interfere with State witnesses.
Robin Mukura, for the State told the court that on 2 July this year, Ncube and Ndlovu allegedly connived with James Clyde Glen the former owner of Robertsblock Farm, who is still at large, to disturb newly resettled farmers.
The State alleged the two summoned the farm manager, Calvin Tshuma and introduced themselves, as war veterans from Bulawayo.
They allegedly lied that they had been sent to inform the newly resettled farmers that they were illegally staying at the farm and they had 24 hours to vacate.
The two were said to have threatened the newly resettled farmers with loss of property if they did not comply with the order.
