Bona Mugabe and her husband Simba Chikore have been accused of paying as little as us $2300for the Hellensvale land prejudicing Harare City Council of millions of dollars and flying in the face of town planning regulations.

The Herald reports that then Cabinet minister Ignatius Chombo reportedly facilitated a deal whereby the daughter of the late former President Robert Mugabe, Bona and her husband, bought 20 hectares of Hellensvale land zoned for recreation for a paltry at US$2 300.

The city council reportedly was paid US$2 300, but the market price of 20ha of land in Hellensvale ranges from US$4,5 million to US$7,2 million.

Chombo is accused of  rezoning the land  to private use, so it could be sold, then arranged it to be sold for a mere US$2 300 for a company called Chordac Investments (Private) Limited.

The Herald found that the property is owned by Chordac Investments, with the two directors listed in the Companies’ Registry office being Mrs Bona and Mr Simbarashe Mutsahuni (also known as Chikore).
