The police are on the manhunt for Budiriro 2 Housing Pay Scheme Chairperson, Robert Jonhera, for defrauding home-seekers by selling them stands on land reserved for a school.
Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, confirmed they were on the hunt for Jonhera.
“Police received a report in connection with a fraud case where some people lost money in a botched residential scheme.
“Eight complainants made a report of fraud against the accused to the Budiriro police on May 30. Allegations are that since June last year, they were duped into making monthly contributions of between US$15 and US$150 towards a housing pay scheme.
“The complainants paid cash to the accused person for joining fee, card issuance, land development and allocation fee, among other costs. They waited for the allocation in vain.
“After verification with the City Council about the proposed land for residential stands, it was discovered that the land is reserved for a school,” Insp Chakanza said.
As soon as they realised that they had been scammed, they immediately reported Jonhera to the police.
Among the complainants are eight Budiriro youths, who paid Jonhera various fees relating to land development and allocation, but never received any allocation.
