ZCC in nasty property wrangle

THE Nehemiah Mutendi-led Zion Christian Church (ZCC) is reportedly embroiled in a nasty property fight with Bikita-based diamond mining company, Bayrich Enterprises.

Southern Eye has learnt that the dispute is centred around disused buildings that ZCC bought from Bayrich Enterprises’ former business partner, Nan-Jiang Southern Africa Resources (Pvt) Ltd, before the mine was placed under judicial management.

The two firms used to jointly operate a 40-hectare kimberlite diamond mine in Bikita, before the Chinese company, Nan-Jiang, pulled out of the deal, citing low diamond deposits.
