Violence disrupts Chipinge land probe:
A COMMISSION of inquiry into the extortionate sale of Chipinge stands in which 10 000 youths were allegedly fleeced about $400 000 by a cabal allegedly led by former Zanu PF youth leader Mubuso Chinguno was aborted on Tuesday after marauding youths pounced on the probe team accusing it of bias.
Police reacted swiftly to quell the disturbances at Chipinge Country Club by escorting members of the commission of inquiry to their vehicle after which they vanished from the scene.
The incident forced the commission to abort another meeting at District Administrator boardroom where they were supposed to engage farmers. The youths, led by Zanu PF Manicaland secretary for information and publicity (youth league) Cde Pedzisai Mudhende argued that Mr Ashirai Mawere was not eligible to comment anything as his organisation knows nothing about the youth village residential scandal This was after Mr Mawere, the vice chairman of the Chipinge Youths Housing Scheme had been given the floor to make his submissions on the land scandal.
This raised the ire of some youths, who disowned and tried to block him from speaking arguing that his organisation was dubious.
Some youths then descended on the eight member panel accusing them of bias after insisting that Mr Mawere should make submissions.
