Mtoto wa Rais Robert Mugabe, Bona
President Robert Mugabe's daughter, Bona, has reportedly grabbed a farm
owned by a white commercial farmer in Goromonzi district, Mashonaland
East province.
The farmer has been ordered to move out of the property as new land invasions grip the country.
When VOA Studio 7 visited Divonia Farm near Juru Growth Point, popularly known as kwaBhora on Wednesday, several army and police officers, including members of the secret service, had sealed off the farm.
The evicted farmer only identified as Hunter was also seen loading his farming equipment into lorries with the help of his former laborers.

The evicted farmer only identified as Hunter was also seen loading his farming equipment into lorries with the help of his former laborers.
Some tractors were driven to unidentified locations in Harare. The
security details also barred Studio 7 from talking to anyone at Divonia
Farm where the farmer was growing seed maize and wheat.
One of Hunter's neighbors in the farming community, who refused to be identified, told Studio 7 the evicted farmer was phoned by a senior member of the military last week advising him that Bona would be moving into his property.
Hunter's former workers said their future is now bleak following the eviction of their employer by the president's daughter.
The grabbing of Divonia Farm by Bona on Wednesday comes at a time when a
new wave of farm invasions is being reported in the countryside,
especially in the Matabeleland region.
Deputy permanent secretary in the Office of the President and Cabinet, Ray Ndlukula, has forcibly evicted David Conolly of Centenary Farm in Figtree, Matabeleland South province, despite a High Court order blocking him from taking over the farm.
Bona Mugabe's take-over of the property means that the Mugabe family now has several farms as the president and his wife, Grace, allegedly displaced several white commercial farmers in Mazowe district when they took over some properties.
