In November last year, controversial preacher Uebert Angel was reportedly seeking to acquire disused assets and land belonging to Chitungwiza Municipality amid allegations of corruption levelled against CCC councillors.
According to a report, Billion Group – a company that is allegedly linked to Angel wrote to Chitungwiza Municipality and expressed eagerness to acquire land and disused properties to convert them into a hotel, conference centre, shopping mall, service station and construction of a medical centre.
