The MP seems to have fallen on hard times and faces
eviction from a Mufakose house where she has been failing to pay rentals since
April.
Matsunga also hit the headlines for the wrong reasons
earlier this year when her pirating Toyota Prado acquired after entering into a
Vehicle Loan Facility Agreement with Parliament of Zimbabwe rammed into a precast
wall before the driver sped off from the scene.
One of the landlords of the four bedroomed house, Taonga
Mupoperi said Matsunga’s problems started last year.
“Our differences started last year when she would skip
paying rentals. She was also failing to pay bills resulting in the cutting of
electricity supplies.
“We actually had no serious problems at first as no one
relied on the money for survival. It is a family house left by our deceased
parents, but we saw that she was now taking advantage and decided to evict
her,” he said.
Matsunga yesterday confirmed being at loggerheads with her
landlord since April this year when she was given a notice.
“Why would they rush to the newspapers? They gave me notice
in April and I was supposed to vacate in July.
“However on July 11, I was served with an eviction order
and went to my lawyers seeking advice,” she said.
Matsunga alleges that her failure to pay rentals emanated
as a result of family conflicts between the landlord and their siblings over
collections of rentals.
“I got the house through agencies and a lot of people were
now coming to collect rentals. The agency had to step aside leaving the family
to resolve its matters alone.
“I then approached the civil court, but it was during the
height of Covid-19 and we failed to get the necessary response. The issue has
just been dragging since then.
“Last week the court said I should stay for 15 days while
looking for another suitable accommodation. Surprisingly, I received another
48-hour eviction notice. I am not refusing to vacate but I am still searching
for suitable accommodation,” she said. H Metro
