By A Correspondent- Six families from Glen Norah B Municipal flats were evicted from their residents two days ago after failure to pay outstanding arrears. 

“The Messenger of court came during mid-day and evicted us from our house, we had nowhere else to go.

“After they left we found means of getting back to our homes because we could not sleep outside, some of us have young children.

“The situation was very frustrating for everyone, there is no money but they are claiming large amounts of arrears from council workers,” said the resident.

Speaking to another victim who is staying at her late mother’s premises (name with held), she said she got an eviction order and is not able to pay the debt because she cannot access her mother’s pension funds who was once a City Council worker.

“I am a student at University of Zimbabwe, I stay alone and I received an eviction order of which I have nowhere to go.

“I cannot even access my mother’s pension funds but she was a worker at the Council, now I am being evicted because I haven’t paid bills, how can I pay the bills when I do not have any income.

“I once tried to change the title deeds of the house but they refused because I could not produce the death certificate. “Council workers are not getting paid but they are issuing out eviction orders which is not fair at all,” she said.
