Terrence Mawawa, Mvuma | A Zanu PF Midlands Provincial member and Team Lacoste member, Norest Musindo has been dragged to court for fraud.

Musindo a declared Team Lacoste member allegedly defrauded a land seeker of $1 500 cash. He is also alleged to have attempted to use his political influence to suppress the matter.

Musindo is one the Midlands godfather Mnangagwa’ s staunch backers. Musindo sold a non-existent piece of land for $ 1500 to Agrippa Ndlovu.

The incident happened at Nyuke Bottle Store in Mvuma in December 2014. Musindo who was drinking beer with Pascal Kunyenyiwa received cash from Ndlovu , ostensibly for the residential stand. However the stand did not exist.

Musindo was charged with fraud under Section 136 of the Criminal Law Codification and Reform Act Chapter 9:23.

He was granted $100 bail by MagistrateTayengwa Chibanda.

Ironically Musindo also has a pending rape case, with sources saying he has remained untouchable because of his political influence.

“We are working on the issue and we will clear everything very soon,”said a Zanu PF official.
According to Zanu PF provincial officials for Midlands Province senior party members had been briefed on the matter.

” The matter is being handled by our bosses so we will not lose sleep,” said a Zanu PF provincial official. Zanu PF officials have remained untouchable despite the commission due to political connotations.
