The court papers read in part:<\/p>\n<p>Muzenda and Gutu Rural District Office chief executive have not sought the consent of the Master of the High Court to transfer the property.<\/p>\n<p>The property has since been transferred into Muzenda\u2019s name and as it stands she is the registered owner of the estate property. The lease agreements between Muzenda and the Gutu Rural District should be cancelled for they were fraudulently obtained.<\/p>\n<p>However, Muzenda maintains the property in question is hers and not the late Mutongi\u2019s, and should not be part of the late\u2019s estate.<\/p>\n<p>The matter is yet to be heard.<\/p>\n<p>More: NewZimbabwe.com<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
