Yesterday, High Court judge Justice Felistas Chatukuta ordered the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) to stop demolishing and evicting the families from Arnold Farm reportedly to pave way for First Lady Grace Mugabe.
Chatukuta granted the order by consent after the victims, through their lawyer from the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), Donsa Nkomo, had filed an urgent chamber application seeking to bar the police and Lands minister, Douglas Mombeshora, from carrying out the evictions. Speaking to NewsDay the lawyer, Nkomo said the residents can only be evicted through a court order or when they have been given alternative offer letters.
