Harare South Housing Apex Co-operative Society chairperson Tonderai Nkomo has filed an urgent chamber application seeking an order to stop Harare City Council from continuing with demolition of houses and structures at Eyestone Farm.
Nkomo argues that Council carried out the demolitions without a High Court order and in violation of section 51 and 68 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe. He said that Council was not supposed to demolish the houses since the matter is before the courts under case number HC11117/16. Nkomo said that their occupation is lawful and they obtained all relevant approvals for the project including approval from the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe. The matter is yet to be set down for hearing.
