HARARE, Jan 31 (NewsDay Live) - The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) has arrested a former police officer, Absolom Mudzamiri for allegedly defrauding a Harare woman of US$9 000 in a residential stand deal.
Circumstances are that the complainant, whose husband works in Botswana, responded to a Facebook advertisement in December 2023 for a residential stand in Budiriro CABS. Mudzamiri, posing as the owner, facilitated a sale agreement drafted by his lawyer, Milton Serima.
The complainant allegedly paid US$8 500 for the stand, plus additional fees, totalling US$9 000.
In July 2024, the complainant and her husband visited the stand, found unauthorised construction and confronted Mudzamiri, who promised reimbursement, but failed.
The matter was reported to Zacc and investigations revealed that the land belonged to Harare City Council.
Mudzamiri is expected to appear in court Friday.
