Former first lady, Grace Mugabe is receiving Government assistance to protect part of her business interests at Gushungo Farm which she founded with the late former President Robert Mugabe.
The area has been invaded by marauding illegal gold panners.
The venture came under target from illegal miners after the former first family travelled to Singapore.
During their long absence, the illegal gold panners descended on the property destabilising operations and damaged part of a citrus project.
Highly placed sources told The Sunday Mail that:
The former First Lady raised concern on the menace of the Makorokoza and has since convened with senior Government officials.“The officials were able to immediately assist her to remove some of these people and authorities will continue to assist her.
“The problem with the Makorokozas is that they have a tendency to keep coming back and we are working towards ensuring that we constantly remove them.”
The sources revealed that Director General (DG) in the Office of the President and Cabinet Ambassador Isaac Moyo, who was tasked by President Emmerson Mnangagwa to look into the case, had visited Gushungo Farm and Dairy to get first-hand appreciation of the situation.
“The DG has been to the farm and got a first-hand appreciation of what was happening. He saw the damage that was being caused by the Makorokoza and he did his part to assist,” the source added.
