Army to evict land invaders

GOVERNMENT has engaged the army to assist police in evicting land barons who are targeting farms, creating illegal settlements across the country.

This emerged in Parliament last Thursday when Murewa South lawmaker Noah Mangondo complained about the sprouting of illegal settlements on A1 and A2 farms.

“My question is: What is being done by government to make sure that the issue of illegal settlements ends because all these government departments that are there are failing to resolve this issue?”
