Drama at Ziko Village, under Chief Seke, on Friday when two elderly women staged a protest against their neighbour, Bonface Nyangombe, while fully naked

Gogo Anna Chick and Cecilia Chiremba staged their bizarre demonstration in protest over what they claim to be Nyangombe’s invasion of the latter’s property.

They claim Nyangombe is expanding his residential stand into Gogo Chiremba’s property.

They say the case is before Chief Seke but is yet to be resolved.

No comment could be obtained from Chief Seke.

There are also allegations that certain employees of the Manyame Rural District Council may have provided Nyangombe with ‘fraudulent’ documents to support his claim.

In response, Gogo Chiremba engaged with the council and successfully obtained her own documentation proving ownership of the land.

Nyangombe then sought a protection order from the Chitungwiza Civil Court.

His case is expected to be heard today.

“I have an offer letter from the responsible authority, Manyame RDC,” he said.

“I also have Chief Seke’s confirmation of my ownership of the stand.”

Villagers are unhappy and accuse Nyangombe and his accomplices, only identified as Mushonga and Chikozve, of conspiring to remove Gogo Chiremba from her property.

“Bonface is trying to take advantage of Gogo Cecilia’s age and vulnerability,” said a villager.

“We are unhappy with how some Council employees are aligning themselves with land barons.

“This elderly woman has had this stand since 2016 and has kept all her receipts.

“The CEO of Manyame RDC is fully aware of this situation and it’s shocking that Bonface thinks he can displace her.

“We must stand up against this injustice.”

Sources said a Manyame Rural District Council employee, who has been fingered in the row, has been transferred.
