MDC-T councillor application flops

KWEKWE — Kwekwe provincial magistrate Taurai Manuwere has dismissed an application by MDC-T councillor Johan Ngozo to have his fraud case referred to the Supreme Court.

Ngozo is being charged with defrauding 10 home seekers of $10 000 in a botched housing stands scam. The MDC-T councillor, through his lawyer Valentine Mutatu, said he wanted the case referred to the Supreme Court, arguing the matter was being politicised.
