ZANU PF Central Committee member Cde Justice Zvandasara is
under investigation for allegedly purchasing land earmarked for the
construction of party offices in Harare and leasing it to a local bank without
permission from the ruling party.
Cde Zvandasara is suspected to have connived with four
others to fraudulently buy and lease out 8 000 square meters that had been set
aside for party offices in Pomona.
The property, known as Lot 55 Pomona Estate or 8 Campbell
Road, Pomona was purchased by a private company, Pebney (Pvt) Ltd, from the
City of Harare.
It is alleged that Cde Zvandasara and his accomplices
Lameck Taruhwa, George Mashavave and two others purchased the property that was
being used as district party offices by Zanu PF Borrowdale District since 1990.
It is understood the party had a right of first refusal
over the property.
Cde Zvandasara allegedly went on to lease the land in
question to CBZ Bank for US$26 000 which was paid into one Fungai Chiboora’s
account.
The case was reported under CR 503/07/2020 — CCD DR55/07
with Cde Zvandasara and his accomplices now facing fraud charges.
National Police Spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul
Nyathi confirmed the case, but could not give details.
“I can confirm that the matter was reported to police. We
we will avail more information once investigations are complete. We are still
on the ground doing the necessary enquiries,” he said.
Zanu PF Harare Provincial chairperson Cde Oliver Chidau
said the matter was still to be formally brought to his attention.
“The matter is still being handled at district level. As a
province, we are still to receive a report pertaining to the matter. I will
give a response once I have been formally informed of the matter and we will
also handle it from there,” he said. Herald
