RUSAPE – Zanu (PF) minister, Dydimus Mutasa, owns more than 10 farms after
reportedly abusing his authority and issuing land offer letters under theMugabe government, sources have revealed.
One of the farms, Cold Stream, is run on Mutasa’s behalf by his nephew, Sheila Matamisa. Other farms were put under the management of the Agriculture and Rural Development authority (Arda).
Highly placed sources within Zanu (PF) confirmed that Mutasa, who championed the harassment of white commercial farmers, owned more than 10 farms in Rusape, Headlands and other parts of the country.
“The following ill-gotten farms are owned by Mutasa: Mula farm in Headlands, Cold Stream, Padiswood (Under Arda Management), Arbed, Loneakkop, Sink Mula, James farm(Nyazura), Poridget (Epworth/Ruwa). He also has farms in the Matinhidza Area 17km from Headlands and another In Mazvikadei. He owns yet another farm on the Brandely road,” said a source on the condition of
anonymity.
The sources also said that there was hardly any productive agricultural activity at the farms. It was not possible to contact Mutasa for comment, despite repeated attempts.

I’m from the Rusape area and I know it’s true. Some he has given to girlfriends. No wonder we have seen him as one of the silent Zanu hardliners. He thinks because he lost half a fingure during the war, then he deserves half the country. We won’t progress with such ignoramus around us.
