By Own Correspondent| Part of the farm belonging to widow of the late national hero General Vitalis Zvinavashe, Margaret has been allocated to the Chinese.

Minister of Lands, Agriculture and Rural Resettlement retired Air Chief Marshal Perrance Shiri reportedly allocated a major part of the farm belonging to Margaret Zvinavashe’s farm in Norton to Chinese firm Sunny Yi Feng Tiles so that it can set up a ceramic tiles factory.

Shiri confirmed the matter and told a local publication that the ministry of lands was reducing farm sizes.

The development comes against a backdrop of the government being accused of parceling out land to the Chinese. Last week, ZANU PF leader, Emmerson Mnangagwa was labeled a traitor for offering to dish out vast lands in Victoria Falls to US President Donald Trump. Many analysts say ZANU PF is breaking the law by dishing out assets to foreigners and this done above locals.

“I had offered President Trump ground to build a state-of-the-art golf course so that as he plays he can be able to see the big five,” Mnangagwa said.

Meanwhile, Shiri said: “she was adequately consulted and everything is being done in agreement. The Chinese hold an offer letter on the piece of land after there was an agreement to withdraw it from her… We have given them the land and whatever they do should be in compliance with the demands of other government agencies,” he is quoted by the Standard.
