Silence in the forest...

The West Mvuvye National Forest alienation issue still smoulders. The latest is that some members of the divided Royal Nyendwa clan - the section who have the interests of the community at heart(Kathryn and Gerald Mulowa), tell me that the Ministry of Lands told them that the area has not been de-gazetted, and that the Forestry Department has belatedly sent someone down to Investigate. This still leaves the matter wreathed in smoke; and Messrs Tom Younger and Andrew Baldry et al have failed to produce evidence of ownership of the Luembe section of the forest, although they apparently have now bought the M'yamadzi game ranch which borders the forest to the south. Complaints/queries to the Anti-Corruption Commission and the Comission for Investigations have so far failed to elicit a response.
