Mudzi Trio in court for unlawfully attempting to peg mining site with forged documents

Local News
On December 22 2025 the parties entered into the partnership agreement which all the parties signed.

THREE men from Mudzi have appeared in court on allegations of fraud after they attempted to peg a farm owned by the complainant with forged documents.

Moses Maja (45),Wiriranai Chitimbo (42) and Zvinairo Ngwereva appeared before Harare magistrate Ruth Moyo who remanded them out of custody on free bail.

The complainant in this case is Peter Admire Kaitano represented by Courage Chakawa of Chakawa Vhera & Mswelanto Legal Practice who is a watching brief.

It is the State's case that sometime in December 2025 the complainant gave one Allan Mbabvu authority to do mining activities on his land in the Makaha area in Mudzi. 

It is alleged that Maja and Chitombo approached the complainant to enter into a mining partnership since Maja had an ore processing plant and complainant sold the idea to his brother Pedzisai and his nephew Fadzi who supported the idea.

On December 22 2025 the parties entered into the partnership agreement which all the parties signed. 

The complainant upon requesting a copy of the agreement was advised that a lawyer had gone to Harare to commission it and was only going to get a copy after it had been commissioned.

In April 2026 the complainant was surprised to see a copy of the consent to peg form with his signature consenting to the pegging of his land by Ngwereva whom he never entered into an agreement with and had never met before.
