Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. Three Harare-based suspected land barons were on Monday arraigned before Harare magistrate Ruth Moyo facing fraud charges involving US$320 000 after they allegedly distributed stands without proper authorization.
Tafadzwa Runesu, Siblinsiyo Mutiza and Ramos Masize were remanded in custody.
They are expected to return in court today for bail application on Tuesday.
The court heard that on unknown date but from 2022 to 2025, the three accused persons duped unsuspecting home seekers at Lot 14 Spitzkop Zvimba, a private entity represented by Khumbulani Magama.
It is alleged that the suspected land baron suspects told the home seekers that there were the lawful land owners of the land before issuing the victims with receipts to the privately-owned plot.
Due to the misrepresentation the trio allegedly fraudulently acquired US$320 000.
