AFTER spending 13 nights in remand prison, Florence Behane Pambukani will know her fate today as magistrate Dennis Mangosi is set to hand down his ruling on her bail application.
The application was temporarily halted when the State wanted to secure an extract of Pambukani’s 1995 conviction at the National Archives.
On other instances, the bail application was postponed due to time constraints.
Pambukani is accused of duping a desperate land seeker of US$21 500.
The complainant is Clemence Ngwenduna.
Allegations are that in April 2016 Behane, through her son Jeffrey Tendai Kariwo, sold a residential stand and entered into a Memorandum of Agreement of Sale for a stand in Borrowdale, with Tawanda Chamunorwa, for the sum of US$15 900.
The purchase price was paid in cash through Antonio & Dzvetero Legal Practitioners Trust Account.
It is the State’s case that on February 13, last year, Behane sold the same property to Ngwenduna for US$15 900.
The amount was paid through Mutuso, Taruvinga & Mhiribidi Attorneys.
She allegedly made him pay US$5 600, which she said was for conveyancing fees.
After several months Ngwenduna, through his lawyers, made several follow ups on the transfer but Florence became evasive.
