adminwhich won her an order to sell a house belonging to unsuspecting owners.
This led to the subsequent eviction of the Koroni family members Bridget, Pamela, Zvidzai, Sibongile and Febby from their house.
Theresa Chinodakufa (55) appeared in court facing two counts of fraud and she was remanded to December 15 for trial.
Prosecutor Mr Editor Mavuto said allegations against Chinodakufa arose after the death of Mr Zvidzai Koroni on March 17, 1997.
Mr Koroni was married to Ferbe Zvidzai who lived in the rural areas.
According to State papers Chinodakufa is not related to the Koroni family but they share the same totem.
When Mr Koroni fell ill, Chinodakufa attended to him since his children were still young and his wife was in the rural areas.
At the time of his death Chinodakufa registered Mr Koroni’s estate in the name of Bridget and Pamela and she endorsed herself as the guardian.
On January 28, 2005 Chinodakufa proposed the selling of the house to the family members.
They rejected the proposal and Pamela went to report the matter at the council district office. Chinodakufa fraudulently prepared a general power of the attorney purporting that Bridget made it.
However, Chinodakufa entered an incorrect identity document number as 18-050558W27 instead of 63-1343238Z29.
Armed with the fake documents, Chinodakufa filed an application against Pamela indicating that other siblings were of the idea of selling Number 34 Chigutsa Road, New Mabvuku.
High Court judge Justice Chinembiri Bhunu granted the order in her favour on May 17, 2008.
On April 30, 2008 Chinodakufa once again misrepresented to another High Court judge Justice Anne-Mary Gowora that she was empowered by Bridget to manage her affairs in Zimbabwe.
Chinodakufa was also granted an order to sell the house and change ownership.
On August 1, 2008 Chinodakufa changed the cession agreement of the house after selling it.
Following the fraudulent sell of the house the complainants were evicted from their family house.
