Zambezi gas appealed to the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Mines for help to get back its land allegedly seized by Makomo Resources. Deputy managing director of Zambezi gas Linos Masimura told the Committee that 11 000 out 19 000 of its special land grant was grabbed by Makomo. However, Makomo Resources has denied the allegations. Makomo Resources managing director Raymond Mutokonyi dismissed the allegations. He said
We never took anyone’s land, that land was idle. I am told that Zambezi claim that they have 19 000ha. With the 7 000, they are claiming that we have, and 8 000 they have, it adds up to 15 000ha and they have another 4 000 somewhere which they have to explain who took that land.
