Zimbabwe: Ex-Councillor's Trial Date Set

24 January 2015

The state yesterday set March 2 as the trial date of former MDC-T councillor, Friday Mleya (39). This was after Harare magistrate Mr Milton Serima, had warned the state that failure to provide Mleya with a trial date would result in him being removed from remand. Mleya who is currently out on $300 bail, isfacing charges of theft of trust property after he allegedly duped Blinkford Engineering company of $76 000 in a botched stand deal. Prosecutor Mr Sebastian Mutizirwa, alleged that sometime in 2012, Blinkford Engineering applied for land from City of Harare.

Mleya who was a councillor at that time started assisting the company and eventually they were allocated stand number 19797 Salisbury township lands, Braeside in Harare.
