Mutodi fraud trial set

BUSINESSMAN cum musician Energy Mutodi’s trial date in a matter in which he is charged for allegedly defrauding desperate home seekers of close to $2 million has been set for early next year.

Mutodi is alleged to have defrauded over 1 500 home seekers through the National Housing Development Trust (NHDT) in Mutare.

Prosecutor Nelson Makunyire last week told magistrate Sekesai Chiundura that Mutodi’s trial will start on February 26, 2014.
