21 of the 27 MPs, who went to China on a shopping spree in 2014, are set to lose their properties, after a local travel agent, Skycred (Pvt) successfully sued them over unpaid travel bills.
Early this year, Skycred was granted warrants of execution against the MPs’ properties after they failed to defend the lawsuits which resulted in the granting of default judgments against them. The MPs who are from both Zanu PF and MDC-T organised the shopping trip to Beijing, which had nothing to do with Parliament business, and some of them did not have enough cash, but approached Skycred for assistance. Upon their return from China they did not service their debt with Skycred, prompting the agent to approach the courts.
The MPs, who are set to lose their properties are, Lilian Timveos, Tongesai Mudambo, Jenia Manyeruke, Lwazi Sibanda, Melania Mahiya, Paradzai Chakona, Sabina Mangwende, Mabel Nkatazo, Vincent Mawere, Nomathemba Ndlovu, Rorana Muchihwa, Annastazia Kavhu, Bacilia Majaya, Masango Matambanadzo, Innocent Pedzisai, Ezira Ruvai, Jeppy Jaboon, Ephraim Gwanongodza, Zvikomborero Ngorima and Ronia Bunjira, who has since passed on.
