Fraudsters frustrating Cyber City investors

Fraudsters are throwing in spanners into the Cybercity Project that was launched by President Mnangagwa last year as they seek to derail the project that is set to transform the face of Harare.

An ex-policeman Spencer Muchamiri has been throwing mud at the project by blackmailing investors who are working on the construction and resurfacing of roads at the multimillion dollar Cyber City in Harare.

Possessed by anti-progress spirit, Muchamiri and other fraudsters are allegedly targeting the special Presidential investment advisor, Paul Tempter Tungwara, the man working with Dubai based investors on the construction of the mega city.

The Cyber City project, covering 2.5 million square meters of land, will include 250 townhouses, more than 80 luxury villas, a number of apartment blocks, high-tech office facilities, a 15-storey commercial tower, and landscaped gardens.

Norton member of Parliament, Themba Mliswa has castigated people who are trying to throw spanners into the works.
“Its a great project,however,it seems there will always be people who are jealous when they see someone they grew up with in Mbare or Highfields being successful. Pull him down syndrome isn’t good. He has done well and we should recognise and accept that.

“Why can’t we stomach the success of one of our own? Tungwarara is one reputable person I have previously worked with at Salt Lakes Holdings. We were also together at the Shamuyarira Farm effectively turning it around and soon we shall be having a field day there.

“Most of these accusers are merely extortionists. They are out for their own ends. I have always taken a position to support black business people.”

He also described people who are attacking the special investment advisor as fraudsters.

“Most of these accusers are merely extortionists. They are out for their own ends. I have always taken a position to support black business people.

“It’s almost like as black people we cannot accept seeing one of us emerging successfully. We are subconsciously comfortable with remaining a class lower than foreigners.”

The construction works which commenced in November last year at the multi-million dollar Cybercity in Harare’s Mt Hampden have already gathered momentum.
