"In Hwange, on December 11 2020, it is alleged that Mafume allocated residential stands to his sister Rotina Mafume and to a secretary at his law firm Rutendo Muvuti without following due process.
He allegedly used his influence as a councillor to push responsible council employees to allocate the stands to the two.
Rotina and Muvuti were allocated the stands valued at $219 938 although they were not on the waiting list.
Yesterday Mafume was remanded to January 28, 2021.
A male juvenile aged seven drowned in Sianyama One community dam, Siabuwa after he fell off a floating log and his body was retrieved and taken to hospital for post-mortem. In Victoria Falls, on the same date, a male juvenile (10) drowned while swimming in Malata River," Nyathi said.
