Former RBZ Governor Dragged To Court Over "Unlawful" Eviction Of Tenant
Former Governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, Dr Gideon Gono has been dragged to court by his tenant for allegedly trying to evict him.
The tenant, Dr Nongerai Moses Makurumidze, who runs a sports science and a research college at the Natvest Industrial Complex while renting the premises from Gono accused Gono of violating their agreement.
In his court papers in which Gono, Clark Makoni and fellow tenants, Mbonje, Dzobo, Matoko, Tambara, Mujeke and Chigondowa are respondents, Makurumidze said:
Your Worship, I had an agreement with Dr Gono. He was initially leasing the property to me but they are now ignoring the original agreement and are trying to evict me without any legal procedures. We are in the process of setting up a proposed university of sport and they all know it but his workers terrorise my clients and staff.
He added that Gono’s workers are disregarding the agreement he had with Gono saying that they had the mandate to evict Makurumidze.
Meanwhile, Chigondowa who works for Gono said that Makurumidze was evicted by Gono and it is surprising that he kept coming back.
