By Dorrothy Moyo| Within days of President Robert Mugabe’s burial, Emmerson Mnangagwa has grabbed Gushungo farmlands in Mazowe.

This was revealed in a government memo. The notice says the late head of state’s properties in the gold rich Mash Central areas, will be dished out to miners, not even farmers – The development is a humiliating slap in the face of Grace Mugabe whose orphanage was encroached by miners soon after the Nov 2017 coup that removed her husband and she has been in legal fights with them for over 2 years to date.

During the last 25 days, Mnangagwa repeatedly threw overtures to Mrs Mugabe in exchange for her husband’s body, but that battle was lost when she and family members defied him chosing to lay the 95 year old leader to rest at the family village home in Zvimba.

The government notice reads in full:

All miners who used to hold mining titles (claims) in the above-named farms are invited to report to the Mashonaland Central provincial mining office in Bindura and re-inspect them as soon as possible.

We are extending this grace period for 60 days with effect from September 19, 2019, beyond which we will assume all those who hold such interests would have restored them.
