Masvingo — A Masvingo magistrate granted US$200 bail on Thursday to two prominent land barons, Godard Dunira and Ephraim Gwanongoza who had spent a week in remand prison , in connection with a case involving the sale of residential and commercial stands valued at more than US$1 million in the Victoria Range .
The two men, who are senior Zanu PF officials in Masvingo province, were released on bail and ordered to report to Masvingo Central Police Station every Friday as part of their bail conditions.
They are scheduled to return to court on 29 October.
Details released by the court indicate that the allegations center on the sale of over 100 hectares of land which they fraudulently grabbed from a property developer, Shineplus.
The bail arrangement requires the duo to remain compliant with the terms set by the magistrate, including regular reporting to the police.
The case has drawn attention within the province due to the two’s political standing and the substantial value of the transactions involved.
Dunira was represented by Lawyer Msindo Hungwe while Gwanongodza was represented by Advocate Tichaona Bhunu.
