Zimbabwe International and Aston Villa Star Marvellous Nakamba’s rural home is threatened with destruction by the Chinese nationals who have invaded his Katambe village in Ward 13 Hwange Rural.

Dinde is a sprawling, poverty-stricken community located 40km east of Hwange along the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls road.

Nakamba was born at this homestead and studied his grade 1-3 at Dinde Primary Sch before moving to Hwange town where his father was a goalkeeper for Wankie FC. He later moved to BYO where he did his grades 6 and 7.

Residents are likely to be evicted to pave way for a Chinese-owned start-up that was recently granted a licence to open a coal mine in Dinde, as shown in this track-down produced in collaboration with Information for Development Trust (IDT)

The Aston Villa Star is still attached to his rural home which he regularly visits when in the country.
