Chiyangwa in Masvingo land wrangle

THE Masvingo City Council has repossessed a 1,9 hectare piece of land from Harare businessman and Zvimba South legislator Philip Chiyangwa after he allegedly violated terms of the agreement by failing to build a proposed hotel within 18 months.

Chiyangwa, through his Pinnacle Properties company, bought the commercial stand in 2008 for ZW$150 billion.

The matter has, however, since spilled into the High Court after Chiyangwa challenged the repossession of the land.
