Martin Murimirambewa (53) of Mapaya and Partners and
Shakespear Karuwa (55), a conveyancer with Karuwa and Associates, were remanded
out of custody to September 3 pending finalisation of investigations.
Newsday reports that the two were granted US$100 bail each.
The complainant is Monoliser Investments (Pvt) Ltd, represented by Chamunorwa
Matsika.
The court heard that sometime in June 2009, Matsika, a
co-director of Monoliser Investments (Pvt) Ltd, got a US$30 000 loan from Frank
Buyanga, the director for Hamilton Property Ltd.
An agreement of sale was entered into and Lot 1 and Lot 2
of Mvagazi in Hurungwe worth over US$500 000 was offered as collateral. Sometime
in November 2009, Matsika made efforts to pay back the debt, but discovered
that Buyanga’s office had been closed.
It is alleged that Matsika came across an article in one of
the daily newspapers saying Buyanga was on the run after having defrauded about
42 people. Matsika approached the Deeds Office to check the status of his
property and he discovered that it had been changed in favour of Hamilton
Property Limited.
Matsika initiated civil proceedings against Hamilton
Property Limited. However, in 2023, Matsika was served with an eviction order
which led him to report the case to the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission.
