Mutumbuka eviction judgment overturned

Zim Now Writer

The judgment by former Judge Webster Chinamhora that saw former Education Minister, Dr Dzingai Mutumbuka being evicted from his US$600 000 Chisipite house in Harare has been overturned by High Court Judge, Justice Gladys Mhuri.

The judgment was given at the High Court in Harare yesterday.

Harrison Marange and his wife Demetria Zirenga, who evicted Mutumbuka from the house using an allegedly forged title deed, are not lawful owners and now face the music of eviction themselves in line with the rescission of Chinamhora’s judgment.

Marange’s lawyers did not oppose the application for rescission and were not at the High Court yesterday.

Mutumbuka is being represented by Tomukudza K. Mudzimbasekwa of Sawyer and Mkushi Legal Practitioners.

Because Marange cannot be evicted from Number 90 Harare Drive, Chisipite without a court order,  Dr Mutumbuka’s lawyers may now apply for a counter court application for a declaration that his deed is the only valid and legitimate to the exclusion of any other.

This will then be used to evict Marange and his wife.
