A couple that duped Pandhari Hotels US$90 000 after selling them a house in Harare’s affluent suburb of Glen Lorne around has been taken to court.
It later emerged that the house did not belong to the couple and Pandhari Hotels was forced to leave the premises after the rightful owners served them with an eviction order.
Pandari Hotels then filed a report with the police, leading to the arrest of Edzai Arifaneti and Usedia Zguwaneti.
The couple appeared before Harare magistrate Dennis Mangosi facing fraud charges.
Arifaneti and his wife were not asked to plead.
The couple, according to state papers, claimed they had purchased the property from Anglovaal Investments, which they claimed was owned by Paul Michael Newton Baker.
The couple reportedly built a house in Chadcombe, Harare using the money they received after selling the Glen Lorne property.
In 2019, the High Court granted Elco Walraven, the actual owner of the property, an eviction order against Pandari Hotels, leading to their eventual eviction in 2021.
