A ZANU PF councillor has been remanded in custody on a charge of fraudulently subdividing and selling land belonging to the late former Mines and Mining Development minister Amos Midzi’s estate.

Seke’s ward 11 councillor Patson Chipunza appeared in court yesterday before Harare Provincial magistrate Caroline Matanga.

It is the State’s case that in December 2002, the Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development ministry allocated Subdivision 1 of Earling Farm in Beatrice, measuring 347,50 hectares to Midzi.
