Alleged Harare land barons named in fraud case

HARARE, Zimbabwe (Aug. 7, 2025) — Aspire Mutingwende, chairperson of the Children of War Veterans and Heroes Dependants Forum, has been implicated in a major land fraud case in Harare, according to Windmill (Private) Ltd.

The company accuses Mutingwende, along with Taremedzwa Kapungu and their associates, of illegally selling residential stands on its property in Bluffhill. The land, Lot FA Kinvara, measures 65.2 hectares and is being fraudulently marketed as “Tsikwi Phase 1 (Westgate Extension).”

Windmill said the pair are acting as “land barons” without legal authority to sell, allocate or advertise the property.

On Aug. 7, the High Court issued an urgent order under Case No. HCH3919/25, directing Kapungu, Mutingwende and their representatives to vacate the land immediately. The Sheriff of Zimbabwe was authorized to enforce the eviction if they fail to comply.

Windmill warned the public not to enter into agreements, make payments or accept stand allocations from the accused, saying such transactions are null and void and could result in financial losses and legal disputes.

The company said it is working with the Zimbabwe Republic Police, the Sheriff and other authorities to enforce the court order.
