An assistant commissioner in the Zimbabwean police force and a chief public prosecutor have reportedly been arrested in connection with a land deal scandal in Kuwadzana.

Rustenrburg - An assistant commissioner in the Zimbabwean police force and a chief public prosecutor have been arrested in connection with a land deal scandal in Kuwadzana, state media reported on Thursday.

The group allegedly sold 152 stands illegally in Kuwadzana in a deal marred with irregularities in the approval of plans and production of layout plans, costing the council US$1,141,779 in the process. The plans were presented as though they had been approved by the council and were used to facilitate water connections and the creation of accounts in the municipal finance system.
