Harare Mayor Faces Questions About House Claims.
A city review board stopped its meeting today when Mayor Jacob Mafume's words about his home needed checking.
Justice Maphios Cheda leads the board investigating Harare's affairs. The board visited a place where Mayor Mafume said he lived.
They found something different. The address at 110 Coronation Road in Greendale was not a home. It was a place where cars were sold.
Mayor Mafume tried to speak about this. Judge Cheda told him to wait and explain later.
The board had to visit the place after learning that the mayor had not told the truth under oath.
The mayor said he made a mistake. He said his real house sits two blocks from that address.
The board did not accept his words. They went ahead with their visit to the place.
The board members, including news writers, returned to the Disaster Management Centre, where they heard what people said about city matters.
