TWO war veterans in Chivhu were recently suspended from
their association on allegations of selling State land without following
procedure, resulting in fights among land seekers.
Justice Munhapa, who was the secretary for lands in the
Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association’s Chikomba district, and
John Chinakidzwa, who heads the association’s administration, were suspended
following an executive meeting held on October 22, which they snubbed.
Chikomba district war veterans association chairperson
Joachim Chivandire could not confirm the development as he repeatedly said he
was attending meetings.
But according to documents seen by NewsDay, Munhapa and
Chinakidzwa have since been served with suspension letters pending
investigations.
“The executive committee has resolved to suspend you with
immediate effect on allegations of corruptly issuing, signing recommendation
letters and allocating land without the authority of the executive committee
and not following correct procedures,” the letters read.
The allegations also include misconduct and bringing the
war veterans association’s name into disrepute.
Munhapa confirmed that he was on suspension, but refuted
the allegations saying he had the necessary documents to exonerate himself.
Chinakidzwa could not be reached for comment as his mobile
phone was not reachable.
Last year at the Chivhu Magistrates Courts, a local white
farmer, Craig Kenneth Campbell, was granted a peace order against Munhapa, whom
he accused of harassing him in an attempt to grab Constantia Estate Farm from
him. Newsday
