According to New Zimbabwe.com, the villagers said an armed soldier together with two other men who identified themselves as police officials and a Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) officer had visited the farm, telling them to leave before Friday last week.
Moses Nkomo – a lawyer representing the villagers – said they (villagers) believed that a top government official was clearing the land for reoccupation.
Nkomo said the matter was set to be taken to court.
During former president Robert Mugabe’s reign, court orders were often ignored, leaving hundreds of families stranded and without homes.
