When a Chronicle news crew visited the suburb yesterday it discovered that the once flourishing maize and vegetable crops had been reduced to stumps.

The residents expressed concern that they had been growing crops at the place for the past three years yet no one ever told them it was illegal.

They claimed that the area had been allocated as a community garden.

The residents castigated the council’s actions and said it should have warned them before they planted their crops.
