Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 38398, member: 636"] The court sentenced a 72-year-old woman and her family members for stealing a house. A local judge gave Eveline Masiyambiri and two relatives jail time but changed it to community service. The woman took care of the house after its owners died, but claimed she bought it. She made fake papers and went to a higher court to become the official owner. The real heir, Farai Mzilikazi, lost his family home through this scheme. Masiyambiri worked as the house's caretaker when Mzilikazi was young. She collected rent money but stopped giving it to him in 2012. She told him she used the cash for house repairs instead. When Mzilikazi turned 18 and tried to claim his property, the woman fought against him. She showed false documents saying she purchased the home from his grandfather. The judge noted that she spent rent money on fixing up the house. [/QUOTE]
