HARARE Magistrate Mrs Babra Mateko has set March 14 as the trial date for a legal clerk at Biti law firm who is facing allegations of filing a false statement under oath at the High Court. Constantine Chaza is facing perjury charges.
The court heard that on February 22, 2019 Chaza made a statement under oath and filed it at the High Court under reference number HC144419.
In the affidavit, Chaza lied that the transfer of number 4 Rageway North to Tendai Mashamanda was as a result of a deed donation.
Chaza also lied that no capital gains tax was paid to the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority, and that lawyer Mr Puwayi Chiutsi, and not Ms Jaqueline Sande the conveyancer in the matter personally attended to the transfer of the property into Mashamhanda’s name was done in a record.
