World Vision Zimbabwe is highly concerned about a media report linking the organisation to people who have settled on formerly commercial farming areas in the Mwenezi area of Masvingo province.
This report has just come to the organisation's attention. Management is taking this matter extremely serious and following up with the manager of a World Vision program in the area. The conduct outlined in the article is totally unacceptable.
Investigations are underway and very stern measures will be taken to ensure that such behaviour does not continue.
It is against organisational policy for World Vision vehicles to be used for work not related to the organisation or to ferry people who do not work for the organisation.
World Vision Zimbabwe has contacted the farmers involved and assured them that the organisation is dealing with the problem as a matter of urgency.
Mwenezi Area -
at Valley Ranch, a serious situation is starting to develop on this property. It is inundated by settlers and communal cattle originating from Malapati. To worsen the situation World Vision (NGO) using a white Nissan Double Cab Registration Number 727-799K is carting settlers to the property and driving around on the property checking up on communal cattle. It has now also been established that World Vision has also moved cattle on to the property.
