Lawyer fined for abuse of trust funds

FORMER Zanu PF MP and senior lawyer, Cuthbert Mpame, has been fined US$1 000 by the Law Society of Zimbabwe after he was found guilty of unprofessional conduct over his handling of trust funds.

This followed a complaint by former NewsDay editor Wisdom Mdzungairi over how Mpame handled funds relating to Mdzungairi’s purchase of land from the lawyer’s property firm.

Mpame was the MP for Zvishavane-Runde in the previous Parliament.
