Zvishavane District Administrator (DA) Shepherd Marweyi has been arrested on allegations of corruption and abuse of office in a case related to dubious land deals in the town and elsewhere.
Midlands provincial police spokesperson Inspector Ethel Mukwende said Marweyi appeared in court for a routine hearing on a case she, however, was not willing to disclose.
“It was a routine hearing for a case that is already there. You can find-out at the court what the case is all about,” said Mukwende.
Sources, however, said Marweyi was fingered in fraudulent land deals done in conjunction with a named land development company linked to a former senior manager in the town council.
The land in question are stands at Mabhula in Maglas, Chiraya stands in Isiah Park and the Kosvoro and Mutonjeni stands located five kilometers along the Gweru -Zvishavane highway.
Other sources said the deals were somehow linked to former Local Government minister, Saviour Kasukuwere, who allegedly sanctioned the fraudulent sale of
