HARARE magistrate Elisha Singano has issued a warrant of arrest
against MDC Alliance’s Mutare North parliamentary candidate Godfrey
Munyamana who faces allegations of swindling a city man of $380 000 in a
botched property disposal deal.
Munyamana who was yesterday supposed to appear at the Harare
Magistrates Court for trial together with his wife, Fadzai, but
absconded.
The accused have denied the charge of defrauding Frank Humbe had
initially indicated that they preferred an out-of-court settlement
through their lawyer Rungano Mahuni, but the State wants them brought to
court for trial.
In his application for an out of court settlement, Mahuni sought to
have his wife left out of the matter, but prosecutor Michael Reza argued
that Fadzai was a suspected accomplice since she had signed the
agreement of sale and received the money as a witness.
The State alleges that after receiving the full payment for the house
they purported to be selling, she conspired to terminate the agreement,
thereby prejudicing Humbe of his money.
Allegations are that in 2013, the couple advertised their house which the complainant was interested in.
According to the terms, Humbe paid $380 000 to the couple who later
failed to vacate the premise and terminated the agreement of sale signed
by the parties. Newsday
