The Reformed Church in Zimbabwe wants to boot roughly 2,000 families off two massive farms near Great Zimbabwe Monuments after people squatted there starting back in the early 80s. Owen Shayawabaya from district lands called a meeting with church reps and Chief Mugabe to announce the plan, but the chief said anyone trying this is delusional since his ancestors were already living there when missionaries showed up centuries ago.
Village head Henry Muganhu Makusha went hard against the church for trying to flex colonial-era paperwork on land they grabbed from locals. The properties cover a huge area with two primary schools and over 130 boreholes scattered around, and some locals think powerful political families are using the church as cover to take over the territory for development projects.
