SW Radio THE Zimbabwean government has suspended an opposition party mayor, his deputy and a councillor in the country’s capital city, Harare, following allegations that they illegally distributed land to their relatives and friends. In separate letters to Mayor Jacob Mafume, Deputy Mayor Luckson Mukunguma and councillor Anthony Shingadeya, Acting Local Government Minister Jenfan Muswere claimed that the trio violated some provisions of the Urban Councils Act. Muswere claimed in the letters that a special investigation team has established that they engaged in the land scam. Mafume, Mukunguma and Shingadeya claim that they are being abused by the state, which wants to install a Zanu PF-leaning commission in Harare.
