According to
prosecutor Anesu Chirenje, on October 29, 2020, Geza bought a piece of land
from Nyabadza measuring 42,3504 hectares for US$1 362 000.
Chirenje said
Geza was granted sole authority to subdivide, develop and sell the piece of
land.
When the
agreement of sale was done, Nyabadza allegedly misrepresented to Geza that the
piece of land had title deeds and promised to avail the document in a month,
but failed to do so.
Chirenje told
the court that while Geza was in the process of obtaining subdivision permits
for the land from the Department of Physical Planning in Mashonaland West
province, he discovered that Nyabadza had sold the same land to Velda Estates.
The court heard
that Geza engaged Nyabadza hoping for an amicable solution only to discover
that the agreement of sale had been cancelled without his knowledge.
The matter was
reported to the police.
Geza was
prejudiced of US$1 362 000 and nothing was recovered.
Nyabadza, who
is being represented by Tazorora Musarurwa, appeared before Harare magistrate
Tilda Mazhande, and trial commencement was deferred to tomorrow.
Geza grabbed
the headlines recently after he called on President Emmerson Mnangagwa to step
down accusing him of a cocktail of wrongdoings, among them running down the
economy.
Mnangagwa’s
loyalists want his term of office extended to 2030 in line with a Zanu PF
resolution adopted at the party’s annual conference in Bulawayo last year.
But Geza
insists that the 2030 agenda should be resisted. Newsday
