A shocking case of family deception has unfolded in Masvingo, Zimbabwe, where a man, Ranganai Chipwanya, has been accused of conspiring with his mother-in-law, Evelyn Masiyambiri, to defraud a city resident, Elisha Muzilikazi, of his late father’s house valued at $25,000.
According to the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC), Chipwanya and Masiyambiri falsely claimed that the late homeowner had sold the property to them before his passing.
Through Zimlive, Newsreportzim has learned that this was allegedly a fabrication, with Chipwanya even writing a letter to the Master of the High Court of Zimbabwe in 2015 to support their bogus claim.
The Masvingo Magistrate’s Court has granted Chipwanya $200 bail, and he’s scheduled to return on October 17 for his routine remand. His mother-in-law, Evelyn Masiyambiri, is also out on bail, facing charges related to the same matter.
This disturbing case highlights the darker side of family relationships and the lengths to which some individuals will go to achieve their selfish goals.
The victim, Elisha Muzilikazi, has been left to pick up the pieces and fight for his rightful inheritance.
As the case unfolds, it remains to be seen how justice will be served. One thing is certain, however: the consequences of such deceitful actions can be devastating and far-reaching.
