President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s son Kudakwashe David has distanced himself from an illegal housing project in Harare’s Belvedere suburb, which is linked to Zanu PF activists.

Kudakwashe said he had nothing to do with Brickstone Builders and Contractors where his namea is listed as a director.

Brickstone is spearheading a multi-million dollar housing development in a Belvedere area classified by the Environmental Management Authority (EMA) as a wetland.

The company has defied orders from government and the Harare City Council to stop the project.

He said he was not involved in any shady dealings however a certificate of incorporation for the company and Contractors obtained from the Deeds Office lists a Kudakwashe Mnangagwa (ID number: 29 – 158087 X29) as one of the directors.

Four of the company’s six directors share a Warren Park D address while the other two share a Newlands address.

Mnangagwa said other people used his name and surname to commit criminal activities.
