MPs Criticise Evictions, Arrests Of Illegal Settlers

MPs Criticise Evictions, Arrests Of Illegal Settlers

Members of Parliament on Tuesday pleaded with the Government to show empathy towards illegal settlers who are facing evictions, arrests and the destruction of their homes countrywide.

As reported by NewZimbabwe.com, the lawmakers argued that though the Government was enforcing the law, the timing was wrong as the country is battling a cholera outbreak and in the middle of the rainy season.

Midlands Proportional Representative MP Tsitsi Zhou (ZANU PF) said the illegal allocation of land dates back to 2004. She said:

Some evictions are ongoing countrywide and people are being arrested and taken to courts because they are settled illegally in resettlement and communal areas.

The government had taken a position to first identify land to allocate the illegal settlers in communal, resettlement and urban areas.

We need to appreciate the population growth and the government should treat illegal settlers the same way, whether they are in urban or communal areas with empathy to achieve the desired results.

The Speaker of the National Assembly, Jacob Mudenda, asked the MP to clarify whether she was condemning the Executive for implementing the law or not. Said Mudenda:

The Executive is administering the law. What is the problem? You are condemning how the evictions are taking place?

However, Zhou said it was how the process was being done that needed to be revisited. She said:

I would like to believe that people have a right to shelter. There has been population growth since the Land Reform Programme and rural-to-urban migration.

Whilst we appreciate this, people are being resettled illegally. They are allocating land to each other through the village heads, councillors and all.

Mudenda concurred with Zhou that the matter could be of national interest but requested her to ask the question to the relevant minister (Anxious Masuka) during the Q and A session. He said:

Well, that may be a matter of national interest. I think you need to ask the question tomorrow. That will suggest what you are observing.

There is no way you can stop the Executive from evicting people who have illegally settled themselves.

Maxwell Mavhunga (CCC) told Parliament that the timing of the evictions and not the enforcement of the law was wrong. He said:

The enforcement is not the issue but the timing of the enforcement. It is during the rainy season and people have nowhere to go.

We are in a pandemic where there is cholera and people are being displaced at this particular time.

We have people on farms who are being evicted when they have planted their crops and they are told to leave within seven days.

According to human rights lawyers, hundreds of villagers across the country have been evicted from their ancestral land by the Government for allegedly occupying gazetted land without lawful authority.

Some of the villagers have been in occupation of their land for more than 40 years and made tremendous improvements to their land.

Critics have dubbed the ongoing evictions “Murambatsvina 2” alluding to Operation Murambatsvina which was a large-scale, slum clearance operation in urban areas which was conducted in 2005.

An estimated 700 000 people lost their homes and/or livelihoods, with a further 2.4 million people indirectly affected. An estimated 92 460 homes were destroyed during the blitz.

Doctrine of separation of powers does not apply in Zim. Listen to what the Speaker is saying. Fighting in the corner of the Executive- trying to intimidate MPs. Sure people settled themselves illegally. Some were settled by traditional leaders and party stalwarts. They were left there for decades only to be evicted now. How is allowed to settle in a place for 40 years, politicians coming to ask for his vote, receive Presidential farming Inputs and suddenly become ILLEGAL? Pane mamwe ma big wigs ari kuda kuisa vana vavo and their girlfriends in those areas. Watch this space. I've said my own hooooo.

Instead of crying or complaining about what is going on, the MPs have power to suspend and correct what is going on, if they knew what they were in parliament for.

People must follow due process when relocating. In this era, it is impractical to profess ignorance about the existence of land barons. It is also a hard fact that state land cannot be sold without the approval of the rightful authorities. What are you missing?

To think that staying illegally for over 40years leaves one untouchable is sad street consensus

when they were giving them that land they assured them that the gvnmnt will stand by them and names of big wigs were dropped for it to be a great project now if you go to Nyatsime pole are being robbed off their hard earned cash by these land barons, but the truth is that these pple are known and they are brave enough to continue with the act yesterday l saw them selling land in the river banks and mazita aitaurwa ipapo ndeengwere dze mlonyeni chaidzo saka mmmmmmm Hurumendi dei yango sunga vari kutengesera vanhu then vatengeserwi voiswa pakafanira vachibhadgara mbichana mbichana nekuti our population has grow to much for the cities and twns that we have already, so they is need for expansion and creation of new twns in these idle forests that are plenty that where pple are living

There are no MPs in our parliament.The so called MPs are a timid lot that cannot stand up for their people.Theyare just pathetic and clueless like their leader. MPs have an oversight roll to play and should challenge the executive and hold government to account for violation of human rights abuses.They can even reject to pass bills that are not in sync the ideology of the liberation struggle.

Law is law. Facts on the ground are that law is being implemented. There should be no waiver. There shouldn't be selective application. That is perfect 👌

Pray, what does the law say about coups? or more approximately unconstitutional usurping of power? Wind back to October-November 2017. Thank You.

There is no law to talk about .The country is on autopilot with the king Gold Mafia at the helm while risking the lives of 16 million people. I bet he is going to suffer the worst fate that Robert Mugabe.

Law is law , it msy not be justice when it's weaponized to fight the citizens. The issue of these repressive laws are part of the reasons why we took up arms and waged the war of liberation against Ian Smith, now our black government is repeating the same mistake. We're evicting our citizens from a land they have stayed on for more than 50 years Osaka bogara kupi? ...yet those govt fat cats are holding onto large tracts of lands. It's now Chinese who are enjoying ownership of large tracts of land at the expense of the locals. It's very cruel and outrageous to evict a large village community to resettle one chief and his family.
