RESIDENTS in Harare’s Southlea Park suburb have petitioned government and Odar Housing Development Consortium against ongoing attempts by authorities to “fraudulently” pass on Southlea Park Primary School to an undisclosed private suitor.
The developments were prompted by the education ministry’s recent dispatching of representatives to the school with plans to transfer the existing teaching staff to other learning institutions while paving way for the controversial take-over.
But residents, who are represented by Alex Majachani of Alex F & Associates Attorneys, have confronted ministry permanent secretary and the consortium’s chairperson with a seven-day ultimatum to abandon the process of face legal action.
