Wrangle over Mbare Vocational Training Centre rages on as contractor denies contempt allegations

Mbare legislator Martin Sunungukayi Matinyanya has teamed up with students at Mbare Vocational Training Centre and filed contempt of court allegations against a contractor hired to demolish structures at the college. 

They recently won a provisional High Court order stopping the demolition of the college buildings pending finalisation of the case, as they are against relocation of the college to a new site in Budiriro high-density suburb.

The demolitions were sanctioned by Harare City Council after it had sold the land to a new developer, Junior Family Business.
