Former Industry And Trade Deputy Minister Accused Of Grabbing Property And Forcing Owner Into Destitution

Former Industry and Trade Deputy Minister Phineas Chihota has been hauled before the court after a lady claimed he fraudulently grabbed her property in Harare and registered it under his name without paying her anything, The Standard reports.

According to court papers seen by the publication:

…When the first defendant(Chihota) failed to meet his obligation, plaintiff wrote a notice to his financiers and to him notifying him so, but he approached the courts and that was set aside by a court judgment obtained under HC6241/06.

The first defendant went on and registered the property in his name through the agreement of sale that we had entered. Thus, Deed of Transfer No. 3005/2007 dated 05 June 2007. The first defendant went on and obtained an order to evict me under case number HC624/06.

The first defendant then attempted to pay part of the purchase price that came on June 22, 2007, seventeen months after he had misrepresented to the court that he had paid plaintiff and plaintiff accordingly reversed it on July 3, 2007.

The purchase price had been agreed to be ZW$28 billion and first defendant only paid ZW$22 402 691 which was subsequently reversed by plaintiff, therefore up to date, first defendant has not paid for the property although he holds title to the property.

Chihota is yet to respond to these allegations.
