A Harare lawyer is facing fraud charges involving US$92,000 stemming from a failed residential property deal.
We are pleased that Kudakwashe Hoff (53) has appeared before Harare magistrate, Turai Manwere, who remanded him in custody until 4 June on bail of US$200.
Hove is managing partner and conveyancer at the law firm TK Hove and Partners.
The complainants are Max Merritt Msoto and Tariro Chingaya.
Prosecutor Mercy Masamvi said sometime in 2023, Huff and his accomplices allegedly defrauded unsuspecting buyers by facilitating the sale of properties owned by Octavius ​​Chikonyura and his wife Precious Danda.
The court heard that the property was marketed online using a fake name of a person called Raphael Dube within the marketing company Rockwell Land Developers for US$92,000.
Based on this misrepresentation, the Complainants paid $92,000 to Hoff Law Firm to purchase the property through its clerk, Samson Moshae. standard
