Zimbabwean sports minister Kirsty Coventry has been cited in court papers over the seizure of a farm once allocated to the nephew of late leader Robert Mugabe.Former Olympic swimming gold medallist Kirsty Coventry has been implicated in the seizure of a property allocated by Zimbabwe's government to Robert Zhuwao, nephew of the late former president Robert Mugabe.
According to court papers filed by Zhuwao at the high court, Coventry - who is the minister of sport, arts and culture - through her husband, Tyrone Seward, gave Zhuwao 30 days to wind up operations. Zhuwao’s June 5 urgent application in"Robert Zhuwao v Kirsty Coventry and Anor" reads: “We kindly request your indulgence to file the urgent chamber application using the scanned version of the affidavit.”Zhuwao has been out of the country since 2018. His lawyers have said he is recovering from brain surgery and is therefore fighting the takeover of his 232ha farm through e-mailed communication.
Robert, named after his uncle Robert Mugabe, is the second Zhuwao to be dispossessed of a farm after his brother Patrick’s mechanised farm was also put under notice last year.
This headline though!!!! It's NOT a farm reallocation. Its a farm grab. Why do u want to sanitise lawlessness. She is now a Member of Zanupf, she is grabbing land the Zanupf way.
Oh, so they are giving back the land they took.
