Prisons boss, Paradzai Zimondi has been sucked into an ownership wrangle over a conservancy in Kariba, amid allegations that he was benefitting financially, despite not being a director or a shareholder.

A retired army colonel, Thomas Ngwenya claims that Zimondi and other directors of the conservancy, Wesango Safaries, conspired to have him removed from the list of directors and this has seen him being prejudiced of dividends since 2004.

In papers filed before the Bulawayo High Court, Ngwenya accuses the Zimbabwe Prison Service boss of chairing a meeting in October 2009, where a resolution was passed to recapitalise the company that runs the conservancy, an agreement which he says is a nullity and void.

Also cited in the court papers are the other directors, Agnes and Epmarcus Kanhanga, Richard Chingombe and the Registrar of Companies, in a suit where Ngwenya is demanding $10 000.
