JUDICIAL FRAUD: Magistrate Jails Farmers, Grabs A Third of Their Farm

EXPOSED: Magistrate presided over farm case in which he is a direct beneficiary

A Zimbabwean magistrate, Samuel Zuze, has been exposed in what counts as one of Zimbabwe’s  most blatant cases of judicial  malpractice and fraud after he presided over a farm dispute in which he is a direct beneficiary, with an offer letter entitling him to one third of the disputed farm.

“Well the big news is that the magistrate trying our case has an offer letter for the third portion of our farm, which we had been struggling to figure out who had it!”, one of the farmers told Investigative Africa, “Now how does that sound, no wonder he was not allowing any appeals etc he had the most to lose! I will leave it at that and let your shock and horror sink in!”

Zuze, who has in the past weeks become a central figure in the matter between the state and farmers resisting eviction without compensation in Chipinge, failed to recuse himself from hearing the case of the farmers after receiving an offer letter to a portion of the farm dated November 13, 2009.

The farmers, Algernon Taffs, Mr Z.F Joubert, Mike Odendaal and Mike Jahme, have packed most of their belongings and are waiting to hear from Zimbabwe’s High Court, which granted them reprieve last week despite Magistrate Zuze’s insistence that they should leave.
