A legal dispute has emerged in Masvingo involving a widow, Farai Mazenge Mutsetse, and Minister of State Ezra Chadzamira over an eight-hectare property. Justice Sunsley Zisengwe recently granted the Masvingo City Council time to file opposing papers in the case.
Mutsetse claims critical documents about her property disappeared from the city council's files, though she fortunately retained copies at home. She purchased the property from the council in 2009, and Chadzamira reportedly began constructing a private school on the land last year.
The widow's lawyers have applied to evict Chadzamira and halt construction on her plot, which includes her home and livestock grazing area. Chadzamira allegedly claims he bought the plot from the Ministry of Local Government, despite not producing supporting documentation.
This is not Chadzamira's first controversial property acquisition. He previously took a mansion and farm from another widow, Yvonne Goddard, leaving her homeless. Sources suggest the local authority is unnecessarily involving itself in Chadzamira's interests and wasting taxpayer money on legal fees.
The case highlights ongoing property disputes and potential abuse of power. Mutsetse is fighting to protect her long-held property against what she sees as an unauthorized seizure by a government official.
