A judge kicked out Brickstone Builders from land they never had permission to use. The company built houses on city property without asking anyone first. Justice Regis Dembure told them to leave within seven days. The High Court found Brickstone used fake papers to claim the land belonged to them. City workers said the company broke every rule about building on government property.
Brickstone showed a letter from the Ministry of Local Government that turned out to be completely false. Ministry officials said they never wrote or signed any such document. The company used this fake letter to start building houses before anyone could stop them. Even after courts told them to quit construction, they kept building anyway. Police arrested company bosses Lilian Chitanga and Spencer Mabheka for fraud.
The company sold over 50 plots of land for up to 40 thousand dollars each. Buyers thought they were getting legal homes but received worthless fake contracts instead. Anti-corruption investigators proved all the sale documents were forged. Most houses built on these plots have already been torn down. Many families lost their life savings to this illegal scheme.
