Bosman
allegedly fingered Chidzomba and other people for assaulting him and his farm
guard.
He also
confirmed the report to NewsDay yesterday.
“Yes, I filed a
report of illegal occupation and assault on me, RRB no 6398554,” Bosman said.
Mashonaland
West police spokesperson Inspector Ian Kohwera confirmed that Bosman made a
report against Chidzomba.
“Yes, I can
confirm that Bosman made a report of assault at Murereka Police Station and
Chidzomba also made a report of malicious damage to property against Bosman at
the same police station,” Kohwera said.
Bosman’s
problems started on April 5 this year when Chidzomba, Elington Chanetsa, Bruno
Elias and Norbert Mawere unlawfully and without permission from him or the
State occupied his 578,54 hectares subdivision 1 Manenga Dundrennam Farm in
Lions’ Den.
The case was
brought before Chinhoyi magistrate Kudzai Kapurura before the State withdrew
the case after plea on May 16, 2025.
Chidzomba and
his colleagues' lawyer Tungamirai Chamutsa told the court on the second day of
trial that Chidzomba acted in the manner he did because he had power of
attorney from former Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services deputy
minister Kindness Paradza.
Paradza, who is
now a commissioner at the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission, has since
withdrawn the power of attorney.
Prosecutor
Grace Zhou consented and withdrew the charges.
The State did
not argue why Paradza initially gave Chidzomba power of attorney on January 7,
2025, and withdrew it on May 12 this year in the thick of investigations.
Paradza was
given an offer letter for Plots 3 and 4, Summerhill, on November 27, 2004.
Bosman was given an offer letter for Dundrennam Farm on September 30, 2004.
