The investigating team that is investigating the stands that lead to the fight is being led by Mr. Morgan Hungwe and they reportedly started their work on October 11 and they are expected to conclude today.
They are reportedly auditing the land management in Bindura by council managers and councilors from 2016 to this year.
In 2018 a similar incident occurred at the same municipality when former Bindura mayor Mr Innocent Zvigumbu and the council’s finance director Mr. Lovemore Warurama reportedly fought after failing to agree on the contents of a 2016 special audit report.
