He even staged a one-man march from Masvingo to Harare carrying a cross to petition the British Queen, through its embassy in the capital city, protesting against UK’s reluctance to fund the land reform programme.
But more than a decade later, Zimuto who is a trainer of the infamous Zanu PF’s youth militia, known as Green Bombers, is tasting his own medicine after at least 150 villagers from Chilonga communal lands descended on his latest acquisition — Mteri Conservancy and Lodges in the Lowveld — demanding a share.He invaded the conservancy from the sugar conglomerate, Tongaat Hullet, the parent company of Triangle and Hippo Valley on January 1 giving himself a New Year present.
But barely a month later, Zimuto said he was being frustrated by the villagers who invaded “his property”.
“Now I am facing a problem of squatters who have invaded the place and set up camp, poaching the animals in the area and disturbing arrivals of hunters.”He said he was going to seek an eviction order from the courts.
