Sports Minister Kirsty Coventry reportedly grabs farm from Mugabe’s nephew

Sports Minister Kirsty Coventry reportedly grabs farm from Mugabe’s nephew. Zimbabwe’s Sports Minister Kirsty Coventry has been taken to court for trying to take over a 232-hectare farm owned by Robert Zhuwao the son of Sabina Mugabe, Nehanda Radio has learnt. Zhuwao filed an urgent chamber for spoliation and a prohibitory indict last week, Case Number HC 2808/20, to the High Court suing Coventry and minister of Lands, Agriculture, Water Climate and Rural Resettlement, Perence Shiri in a matter involving the grabbing of their land.

It is reported that Coventry’s husband Tyrone Seward had told Zhuwao he had 30 days to leave according to the farm managers, yet they did not produce any offer letter. Zhuwao’s lawyers have written a letter to the High Court Registrar requesting to file an urgent chamber application using the scanned version of the founding affidavit and submit the original at the hearing since their client was recovering from brain surgery in Zambia.
