This has been a battle since 2019 when the villagers received eviction orders from the Chipinge RDC

[PYCDT @PYDT1]

Chipinge RDC has been interdicted by the High Court from urbanizing Kondo Communal land without following due process. 266 households had received eviction orders in which a situation that was a clear violation by the RDC of the common people rights to land.

[PYCDT @PYDT1]

This court interdict over the arbitrary conversion of communal land came as welcome news to PYCD and the community that have long battled an impending loss of ancestral land, livelihoods and cultural identity. The interdict upheld the principles of administrative justice.
