A Harare man appeared in court for allegedly teaming up with his seven accomplices clad in Zanu-PF T-shirts to chase and invade the premises of an Indian businesswoman, identified only as Rashan, in Belvedere, before uprooting her fencing poles, claiming the land belonged to him.
Richard Samunda (41) was facing charges of malicious damage to property when he appeared before Harare magistrate Mr Edwin Marecha. It is alleged that the woman applied for land at the Harare City Council on an open space and was given stand number 40720 in Belvedere.
The court heard that Rashan went on to erect poles around the place intending to fence it. It is alleged that Samunda, in the company of seven accomplices who were dressed in Zanu-PF regalia, uprooted the fence poles.
Prosecutor Mr Tapiwanashe Zvidzai told the court that Samunda was seen by one man identified as Mpofu whom he told that the land belonged to him.
The court heard that after the incident, Rashan cross-checked with Harare City Council and was told that Samunda was not known to them and that he was not the rightful owner of the stand.
