Jailed former Air Zimbabwe boss offers 3 houses for bail

Jailed former Air Zimbabwe company secretary Grace-PFumbidzayi has offered three immovable properties with a combined value of $135 000 as surety for bail pending appeal against a seven-year prison term imposed on her for criminal abuse of office.

Pfumbidzayi was jailed along with the airline's former chief executive Peter Chikumba.

They were slapped with 10 years each, but had three years suspended on condition of good behaviour.

Pfumbidzayi has offered a house in Southerton, Harare, with a market value of $30 000 and another one in Masvingo valued at $25 000 plus a Plot measuring 5 813 hectares along Lake Mtirikwi valued at $80 000 in a bid to buy her freedom.

Pfumbidzayi increased the offer after High Court judge Justice Happias Zhou, a fortnight ago felt the bid was not enough.
