Bulawayo High Court judge, Justice Martin Makonese, has ordered Beitbridge Senator Tambudzani Mohadi who is Minister Kembo Mohadi‘s spouse, and Zanu PF Matabeleland South provincial chairperson, Rabelani Choeni, to stop interfering with commercial farmer, George Watson who runs a flourishing banana plantation at Double O Ranch in Gwanda.
The ruling, made last week, follows Watson’s urgent chamber application seeking an interdict order barring Mohadi, Choeni and two other villagers from interfering with his activities at the farm. Watson has since 2003 been locked in a protracted legal battle with the Zanu PF politicians following accusations that he had failed to co-exist with members of the surrounding community.
The farm, spanning 10 000 hectares, had been divided into two sections with Watson and his mother, Paxotius (70) allocated 2 000 hectares while 8 000 was given to Siyoka villagers.
