Farmers at Springs Farm in Goromonzi plan to challenge a government court application seeking to revise prior High Court decisions about land formerly held under Aspindale and Lochinvar estates. Their legal representatives filed a formal opposition to the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works' request to overturn elements of a 2019 judgment concerning the same property.
The dispute involves territory previously owned by Marimba Residential Properties, later acquired by the state under land reform laws and designated for housing and farming. That earlier court ruling validated allocations to various beneficiaries. Officials indicate procedural steps must conclude before a full hearing occurs. Springs Farm gained recognition for substantial wheat output supporting national food programs. The case will proceed to the Harare High Court following completion of the required legal formalities. The ministry initiated its new application earlier this year regarding specific parcels within Goromonzi District.
