A local Zanu PF councilor for Epworth  has given a one week  ultimatum to hundreds of residents staying at  Pentagon to either vacate their homes or risk losing them  to demolitions.
The area has been blacklisted for harbouring MDC-T supporters.
According to Epworth Residents Development Association (ERDA) the councilor  Hasimon Shadaya  at the weekend told the occupants to vacate or risk evictions.
Other than residents of Pentagon ERDA says the local councillor is also targeting 17 residents of Sunway city in the same neighbourhood who he has also threatened with evictions.
“He is leading what  he calls ‘regularization’ process, which involves subdividing existing residential properties/stands,”said the residents’ rights lobby group.
“The targeted 17 homeowners are being accused of mobilizing other residents to resist the subdivisions”.
“All of these 17 victims have lodger’s cards issued by the Local Board and have been paying rates”.
