How Manikai&Gwaradzimba hijacked Mawere’s House – Expose

On 9 March 2021, Mawere approached Gwaradzimba to inquire about the affairs in relation to his personal house located in Mount Pleasant, Harare and the following is what transpired resulting in Gwaradzimba proposing that the matter be handled by Mr. Edwin Manikai, notwithstanding the fact that SMM Under Reconstruction had no right, title and interest in the house.

The thread below reveals how corrupt and deceptive Gwaradzimba is and how he lied that he had no idea about the house affair only to change in the course of the chats to have the requisite knowledge that he claimed not to have.

The facts are not in dispute that although the Reconstruction Act prohibited Gwaradzimba from having any jurisdiction of assets that SMM had no relationship with, he nevertheless dealt with the house as if it was his or SMM’s property.

When he was cornered, he unilaterally referred the matter that he claimed no knowledge about in the first place to Manikai of SMM as follows:

Below is the full text of the chats:

CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE WORTH SHARING

MUTUMWA MAWERE V GWARADZIMBA RE: MAWERE’S HIJACKED MOUNT PLEASANT HOUSE

[3/9/2021, 4:20 PM] mdmawere1: Good afternoon. It is Mutumwa Mawere. Please urgently advise on whether you have any information about my house in Mount Pleasant.

[3/9/2021, 4:24 PM] Gwaradzimba: It’s great hearing from you Sekuru. I do not have information, but I will immediately find out and advise.

[3/9/2021, 4:27 PM] mdmawere1: Thanks and much appreciated.

[3/9/2021, 4:28 PM] mdmawere1: It looks like someone is staying there.

[3/9/2021, 4:33 PM] Gwaradzimba: Afternoon once more. I have established that the house has always been leased out. SMM is paying the rates and receiving the rentals. However, SMM does not have the title deeds, nor do they know as to who the house is registered under. That’s the information I have right now.

[3/9/2021, 4:34 PM] mdmawere1: Thanks. I have the title deeds.

[3/9/2021, 4:35 PM] mdmawere1: It is registered under my name. Thanks.

[3/9/2021, 4:35 PM] Gwaradzimba: And they’re in your name?

[3/9/2021, 4:35 PM] mdmawere1: Yes.

[3/9/2021, 4:36 PM] Gwaradzimba: Then I have told the management that, in that case, the rentals less the rates must be for your benefit.

[3/9/2021, 4:37 PM] mdmawere1: Thanks. Much appreciated. You can get the records from your end. You may recall that ZRP – Mangoma filed an affidavit to this end in the specification matter regarding the house.

[3/9/2021, 4:41 PM] Gwaradzimba: I don’t have to check anything, but will take your word for what it’s worth. I will instruct SMM to separate all the rent; put it in a Trust account; and charge rates, any maintenance and management fees, and the net will be for your account.

[3/9/2021, 4:43 PM] mdmawere1: I have someone who needs to use the house. It would help to know the accrued rentals.

[3/9/2021, 4:49 PM] Gwaradzimba: That’s in order, but, obviously, the current tenant would need to be given at least three (3) months’ notice to look for alternative accommodation.

[3/9/2021, 4:50 PM] Gwaradzimba: Good afternoon. I am advised by Mr. Mutumwa Mawere himself, that he holds the title deeds for the Mt. Pleasant house, and the Deeds are in his name. I will ask him to send me a copy of the deeds.

I would ask that you create a Trust Account under SMM, transfer all the rentals that have been received from the lease of the house, into that Trust Account and then charge against the account, all expenses paid by SMM in respect of the house, including management fees payable in accordance with the Estate Agents Act.

Tell me once all this will have been done.

[3/9/2021, 4:51 PM] mdmawere1: Thanks. Much appreciated. Can I request him to get in touch with you to coordinate?

[3/9/2021, 4:51 PM] Gwaradzimba: This is what I have said to SMM management.

[3/9/2021, 4:51 PM] mdmawere1: All in order.

[3/9/2021, 4:52 PM] mdmawere1: Thanks. Much appreciated. Will do.

[3/9/2021, 4:52 PM] Gwaradzimba: No problem at all. I consider it that you will be directly managing the property in this case?

[3/9/2021, 4:53 PM] mdmawere1: We can see what makes more sense. I have no idea what the real situation is.

[3/9/2021, 4:56 PM] Gwaradzimba: That’s in order. I will advise of the balance after hearing from SMM management.

[3/9/2021, 4:59 PM] mdmawere1: Great. Much appreciated.

[3/9/2021, 5:03 PM] Gwaradzimba: Ndizvoi VaSekuru, it will be done.

[3/9/2021, 5:04 PM] mdmawere1: Thanks.

[3/9/2021, 5:59 PM] Gwaradzimba: Welcome.

[3/12/2021, 8:13 AM] mdmawere1: Good morning

[3/12/2021, 8:13 AM] mdmawere1: [3/10, 7:37 PM] mdmawere1: Hello

[3/10, 7:53 PM] Morris Levin: Good evening. Any update from Mr.Gwaradzimba. As discussed, I find it very strange that rental income would be paid to a party with no ownership interest in the subject property. The property is yours yet for 17 years, contracts were concluded and value exchanged. Very strange. I would need to have all the records of the affairs of this house and how SMM can possibly explain its unlawful conduct.

[3/10, 7:55 PM] mdmawere1: I am waiting for feedback from Mr. Gwaradzimba. I should like to believe that the records exist and it should be possible for us to examine them. I will contact him in the morning and revert back to you with feedback. Thanks.

[3/12/2021, 8:16 AM] Gwaradzimba: Mangwanani Dziva. I trust you are doing well. You will get your update.

[3/12/2021, 8:18 AM] mdmawere1: Thanks. I am well. I look forward to it.

[3/16/2021, 11:47 AM] mdmawere1: Any update. By the way, who was the agent or agent handling the property before and after reconstruction?

[3/16/2021, 1:20 PM] Gwaradzimba: Afternoon. Unfortunately, the reconstruction is still in progress. SMM, apparently, has been in charge of the security and maintenance of the house (including paying of rates), since you were staying in the house yourself. At least this is what am advised.

Am also advised the decision to let out the house (first to SMM employees) because of the need to defray the expenses associated with the house. When the SMM employee who stayed in the house vacated the house, SMM put the house under the management of KFRZ, who are still the managers. I have now advised SMM of your intention to have someone else live in the house.

The process to now take place is:

1) SMM to advise KFRZ of the developments;

2) KFRZ to give 3 months’ notice to sitting tenant;

3) On sitting tenant leaving the house, the house will be handed over to someone of your choice.

Meanwhile, SMM management is putting together information pertaining to the costs and revenues of the house. Once this is together, I will advise you.

I trust you find this in order.

[3/16/2021, 1:30 PM] mdmawere1: Thanks. As you can appreciate, the house has nothing to do with reconstruction and you already alluded to it when you claimed no knowledge of it.

This means that all the income from it is the property of the owner from day one.

There was no decision to let the house to SMM employees that I am aware of.

The house was always my personal property.

If any such decision was made, it may help to know who and when the decision was made.

I am not sure on what authority, SMM would for more than 17 years appropriate a property not belonging to it and apply proceeds without the knowledge and consent of the owner.

It is vital that the missing information be provided urgently so that I can apply my mind on what next steps to take.

I am sure you will agree that absent consent, would be some kind of property hijack.

[3/16/2021, 1:35 PM] mdmawere1: You may be aware that I never stayed in the house at all.

[3/16/2021, 2:15 PM] Gwaradzimba: I am sorry, but I doubt you’re saying anything new to me since you talked to me about the house. What I can say is that SMM had to make a decision or two since the company was paying expenses in respect of the house.

All the rates bills from the house have been issued and sent to SMM and the company has been paying these bills since your time living in the house. I will be happy if you will let the process I have talked about in my earlier text be completed.

[3/16/2021, 2:18 PM] mdmawere1: But you can appreciate that where there is no legal nexus, there should be no liability or rights.

[3/16/2021, 4:57 PM] Gwaradzimba: I may not understand what you may want to say, but am sure you now know the process am suggesting. If you want it otherwise, advise.

[3/16/2021, 5:02 PM] mdmawere1: What am I am saying is that since SMM had no relationship with the property, I am failing to understand who could have authorized any suggestion of a legal nexus to permit any income to be appropriated or used without the knowledge and consent of the owner of the property.

At the outset, you stated as follows:

‘Afternoon once more. I have established that the house has always been leased out. SMM is paying the rates and receiving the rentals. However, SMM does not have the title deeds, nor do they know as to who the house is registered under. That’s the information I have right now.”

I accepted this factual representation. This means that this material fact cannot result in any money being unaccounted for as if anyone in SMM had any management contract for the period.

[3/16/2021, 5:38 PM] Gwaradzimba: What it means is that we may not be understanding each other, which may mean that we stop the conversation.

I told you that what am told is that SMM was paying for security at the house; SMM was and is still paying the rates and other maintenance costs. We cannot, therefore, say that SMM had no relationship to the property.

I did not know there was any house belonging to you that SMM was involved in till you sent me your text. And I want us to resolve the issue, that’s all.

[3/16/2021, 5:47 PM] Gwaradzimba: By the way, I never said there was any money that has not been accounted for. I have said that am advised there has been income from rentals and expenses for the management; and maintenance of the house; as well as for the payment of rates.

Why can’t you just wait for the information I said was going to provide to you? After that, you can then say or go for what else you want to achieve. Meanwhile, I told you that SMM will instruct KFRZ to give the current tenant notice.

I think this is all I can say for now. We don’t need to spend time talking about one and the same issue without positive results.

[3/16/2021, 5:50 PM] mdmawere1: I am trying to understand what is fact and is not.

I think I am entitled to this.

Since you didn’t know the facts, it may be that a specific individual in SMM knew of the facts.

The danger is getting you entangled in a dispute that has nothing to do with reconstruction as far as I can deduce from the facts you have shared.

I am sure you will understand the prejudice if indeed the control of the house was vested with people who had no authority to do so.

[3/16/2021, 6:02 PM] Gwaradzimba: So what do you want me to say or do right now?

[3/17/2021, 8:09 AM] mdmawere1: Good morning. Thanks for providing valuable information and background.

I would be grateful if you can furnish me with a copy of the current contract in relation to the house.

[3/17/2021, 8:22 PM] Gwaradzimba: Am sorry am not in Harare at the moment. When I come back next week, I will look into it.

[3/17/2021, 8:34 PM] mdmawere1: Is there anyone at KFRZ who is familiar with the matter you can direct me to?

Since this matter falls outside your mandate as SMM Administrator, is there a specific person who has been attending to this matter that I can deal with?

[3/17/2021, 8:42 PM] Gwaradzimba: Obviously there is since they’re the managers. But you’re aware that it’s only when you engaged me this past week that I became aware that you had a house in which SMM was involved with. I told you I was going to gather all the necessary information necessary. Why can’t you let that happen?

[3/17/2021, 8:43 PM] mdmawere1: Thanks for the support. That is not the issue.

[3/25/2021, 2:35 PM] Gwaradzimba: Good afternoon. Please be advised that I now have the information you requested. For good order, I will request that you send me your email so that I can provide the same to SMM lawyers whom I will request to send you the information I have now, and any other information you may request later.

[3/25/2021, 2:36 PM] mdmawere1: Good afternoon

[3/25/2021, 2:36 PM] mdmawere1: [email protected]

[3/25/2021, 2:36 PM] Gwaradzimba: Maita, thank you.

[3/25/2021, 2:36 PM] mdmawere1: Much appreciated.

[3/25/2021, 2:57 PM] Gwaradzimba: DMH are now with the information and am sure you have noticed as to who at DMH I have copied the email I sent to you.

[3/25/2021, 3:35 PM] mdmawere1: Who is DMH working for?

[3/25/2021, 3:35 PM] Gwaradzimba: They work for SMM.

[3/25/2021, 3:38 PM] mdmawere1: Sorry the email had gone to spam.

[3/25/2021, 3:39 PM] Gwaradzimba: Am sure you will be able to retrieve it.

[3/25/2021, 3:39 PM] mdmawere1: I thought this matter falls outside SMM:

[3/9, 4:20 PM] mdmawere1: Good afternoon. It is Mutumwa Mawere. Please urgently advise on whether you have any information about my house in Mount Pleasant.

[3/9, 4:24 PM] Gwaradzimba: It’s great hearing from you Sekuru. I do not have information, but I will immediately find out and advise.

[3/25/2021, 3:39 PM] mdmawere1: Got it now

[3/25/2021, 3:45 PM] Gwaradzimba: It can’t be outside SMM. As I told you, I wasn’t aware that you had any property, information about which you would want to know from me. But after you engaged me, I contacted SMM management who confirmed the house but said they were not exactly sure as to who the property was registered under. And you then confirmed to me that you’re the titleholder. Meanwhile, SMM has been managing the property, given that, even when you’re staying at the house, SMM was providing for the security and paying expenses relating to the house. So, really, it cannot fall outside the purview of SMM. Hence its SMM providing the information you just requested.

I do not think there should be any issues in DMH providing that information to you.

[3/25/2021, 3:48 PM] mdmawere1: I am sure if it was ignorance, then the law must limit and deal with someone’s rights outside the law.

I thought it would not default to some kind of expropriation of private property.

The title deeds and information related to ownership is publicly available.

I am sure you will agree that if it takes 17 years for you to know, then this must be of real concern to all.

[3/25/2021, 3:57 PM] Gwaradzimba: You know what, I do not need to go into unnecessary and even unproductive arguments. Masvosve anopfuvura nemumba menyu mangani? This is the kind of information you expect me to know about SMM. There is something in my profession called “Materiality” but I do not want us to start lecturing to each other as to what this or that means. I practice within the confines of my profession, and let me do just that. Where I consider I need expertise outside that of my profession, I will go out to seek that expertise. It has just taken you the same number of years to think of engaging with me about your house, is that not?

Let us treat each other with respect, and show that we have matured with age. We have a lot in common from where come, from our roots, let’s respect that. I highly respect that.

[3/25/2021, 3:58 PM] Gwaradzimba: from where we come

[3/25/2021, 3:59 PM] mdmawere1: I also have no time for this. The house falls outside SMM and now you wish to lecture me about this.

Surely, this is not on. What nexus does SMM have to deal with my personal house and then I have to deal through its lawyers.

This is not maturity but abuse that falls outside any legal authority.

[3/25/2021, 4:00 PM] Gwaradzimba: So why did you engage me?

[3/25/2021, 4:04 PM] mdmawere1: As I said to you, I wanted to confirm that there was no misunderstanding and then go to the source of the problem.

I was pleasantly surprised to know that you did not know anything about the house.

I am now totally confused as to who knew what and where the authority to deal with the house emanated from.

[3/25/2021, 4:28 PM] Gwaradzimba: When you were living in your house, SMM had this obligation to provide security to the house and to pay for expenses relating to the house, including rates. Therefore, it is that obligation still in force, whoever gave it or wherever it came from is not something I am interested in at the moment. You know that when you were in charge, someone instructed the City of Harare to send all its rates and other charges bills to AA Mines for payment. That’s what’s still happening Sekuru (by the way, this will not change because of anything you may say or think about me). The bills are there for 2 Durland, sent for payment to, and being paid by, SMM. So am not sure as to what authority you’re talking about. You put it in place yourself. There can’t be only obligations to pay, without authority to raise money. I hope you can see the economic sense in this.

[3/25/2021, 4:36 PM] mdmawere1: I never lived in the house for your information.

[3/25/2021, 4:39 PM] Gwaradzimba: So why was SMM paying for the expenses relating to the property?

[3/25/2021, 4:40 PM] mdmawere1: I bought the house while I was in the USA. I never lived in the house.

The arrangement was never with SMM but with Ms. Mwamuka who was introduced to me by Mr. Mkushi.

There was a tenant living in the house who was paying rent and there was a managing estate agent.

There was no deal with SMM to collect any rentals. The agent is the one who was paying.

[3/25/2021, 4:40 PM] mdmawere1: Your facts may be different from what the reality is.

[3/25/2021, 4:45 PM] Gwaradzimba: The tangible evidence I have is of City of Harare bills to AA Mines which were, and are still, being paid by SMM. Am also advised that SMM always provided security to the house, and now wonder why the company was providing security for Ms. Mwamuka?

[3/25/2021, 4:46 PM] Gwaradzimba: Were you aware that SMM was paying the property’s rates bills?

[3/25/2021, 4:46 PM] mdmawere1: I am sure this was before reconstruction. I guess since you didn’t know anything about the house, the facts are not known to you and me.

[3/25/2021, 4:47 PM] mdmawere1: As I said, I have no clue who was speaking on my behalf during the years but there has to be a person who is not you, who must speak to the facts.

[3/25/2021, 4:47 PM] Gwaradzimba: But I have investigated since the day you contacted me.

[3/25/2021, 4:48 PM] Gwaradzimba: I have provided DMH with all relevant documents, including lease agreement.

[3/25/2021, 4:48 PM] mdmawere1: I am grateful for this but the person who knowingly and intentionally makes decisions in relation to the house is still unknown to me. It is this person who needs a lawyer and not SMM unless the person who is accountable to SMM for this.

[3/25/2021, 4:49 PM] mdmawere1: Indeed. I have no business with SMM on this. I have never entered into a management agreement with SMM in relation to the house. If you have any evidence of this, please you can send me a copy of the agreement authorizing SMM to substitute me.

[3/25/2021, 4:54 PM] Gwaradzimba: Very much indeed. Except that it’s not part of me to ignore anyone, hence I thought I could assist when you engaged me. And you can also appreciate that SMM has been spending money on the property for a long time.

[3/25/2021, 4:55 PM] Gwaradzimba: Hence I have involved the company’s lawyers, in case there is a legal matter to be dealt with.

[3/25/2021, 5:00 PM] mdmawere1: I am sure you will agree that absent consent, no deal can follow.

[3/25/2021, 5:01 PM] mdmawere1: No legal matters can exist with you when you had no knowledge.

[3/25/2021, 5:02 PM] mdmawere1: As a principal, I never surrender my power to anyone without knowing the terms and conditions in advance.

If you don’t know the facts, then you have nothing to be concerned about.

[3/25/2021, 5:31 PM] Gwaradzimba: Sekuru, the legal issues, if any, would with SMM, as they are the entity with all those documents I said I provided to DMH.

[3/25/2021, 5:33 PM] Gwaradzimba: To me, it’s normal that such issues arise in the confusions of the goings-on.

[3/25/2021, 5:40 PM] mdmawere1: I hear you. But where there is no consent, I am now confused as to where any obligations and rights would arise.

The right to receive rent must flow from an agreement and not from speculation.

I am battling to understand why anyone would receive rent for a property without the express authority of the owner.

[3/25/2021, 5:41 PM] mdmawere1: If you have a copy of the authority document from me to SMM, you should share it with me.

[3/25/2021, 5:44 PM] Gwaradzimba: But am told that SMM has always done the payments, why, I will not be able to say.

[3/25/2021, 5:45 PM] Gwaradzimba: What I will do is to ask SMM to explain as to how they came to be obliged to pay expenses in respect of the property, as well as how they became entitled to lease out the property.

[3/25/2021, 5:53 PM] mdmawere1: Let us establish the timeline from the person who is knowledgeable.

[3/25/2021, 5:54 PM] mdmawere1: This is your side and I respect it. Please look at it from my side. The person who is representing SMM must tell me who represented me. It can’t be him representing both me and SMM.

[3/25/2021, 5:54 PM] Gwaradzimba: That’s in order. I will ask as to when SMM started to pay for security and under whose instructions, etc.

[3/25/2021, 5:55 PM] mdmawere1: Facts will help everybody.

[3/25/2021, 5:55 PM] Gwaradzimba: Indeed. Let’s find out as to how the property came to be under SMM

[3/25/2021, 5:56 PM] mdmawere1: This is factual and not legal. Let us get the facts. If you have the current lease agreement, it will help as a start.

[3/25/2021, 5:57 PM] mdmawere1: When we need lawyers, we can then request advice.

[3/25/2021, 5:57 PM] Gwaradzimba: I think we have to know how SMM got involved in the first place.

[3/25/2021, 5:58 PM] mdmawere1: On point.

[3/25/2021, 8:46 PM] Gwaradzimba: Just wondering why ita SMM alone who shld know how the house ended up in its hands? Should the owner not know as well?

[3/25/2021, 8:46 PM] Gwaradzimba: But if we know, let’s put the information together. This is what the owner knows👇

[3/25/2021, 8:46 PM] Gwaradzimba: LD 👆🏿

[3/25/2021, 8:46 PM] Gwaradzimba: I bought the house while I was in the USA. I never lived in the house.

The arrangement was never with SMM but with Ms. Mwamuka who was introduced to me by Mr. Mkushi.

There was a tenant living in the house who was paying rent and there was a managing estate agent.

There was no deal with SMM to collect any rentals. The agent is the one who was paying.

[3/25/2021, 8:46 PM] Gwaradzimba: That’s what am asking you to put together. Let’s not waste time and bundles. You only resolve problems by respecting the facts. Let’s have those facts.

[3/25/2021, 8:46 PM] Gwaradzimba: The Agent should also account for why its services ended up being taken over by SMM.

[3/25/2021, 8:49 PM] mdmawere1: Thanks. Not sure where the messages are coming from

[3/25/2021, 8:50 PM] mdmawere1: Indeed. The records must be with someone but history cannot be hidden.

[3/25/2021, 8:50 PM] Gwaradzimba: From SMM management. Am sure the facts will be put together, regardless of what they’re.

[3/25/2021, 8:53 PM] mdmawere1: Who specifically is the person or persons in SMM who is responding to this?

You have rightly said that property taxes were paid during the 17 years

Who was billed by the City?

Was SMM billed and since you did know anything about this, does it mean that the owner of the house was known during the time?

[3/25/2021, 9:00 PM] Gwaradzimba: Sekuru, you will see the actual bills. So let’s have all the information I have requested to be put together. What will be important is to then know, as to why and how SMM started to pay expenses for the property and to then start receiving rentals. Too long a time has passed by, and there may have been a valid reason as to why what happened did happen. Let’s wait for the facts.

[3/25/2021, 9:03 PM] mdmawere1: In the meantime, you can furnish with a copy of the current rental agreement, a copy of the account to which the rental payments were made, and a copy of the property tax invoice.

[3/25/2021, 9:05 PM] Gwaradzimba: Those are the documents I sent to DMH to deal with, just in case there are issues legal, needing other ways of dealing with them then I would ordinarily do.

[3/25/2021, 9:06 PM] mdmawere1: Have not received anything from them.

[3/25/2021, 9:06 PM] Gwaradzimba: There is no problem you writing to DMH and asking for the information. I want to have all the relevant information to hand in first.

[3/25/2021, 9:10 PM] mdmawere1: But I can only write to them if it is established that an agreement or lease existed between SMM and me in relation to the house.

You have said that you possess no personal knowledge of the housing issue.

I have accepted this hence the request for the names of the specific individuals who were involved in the matter.

I can then establish the facts directly.

They would have known who the owner of the house especially if they were paying on the owner’s behalf.

[3/25/2021, 9:14 PM] Gwaradzimba: SMM management will refer issues they consider complicated, to me. What you have to know is that the management at SMM in 2004, has since left. Those who are there now took over what they found being done. So let’s give them the time to look into the matter, including engaging former SMM officers.

[3/25/2021, 9:18 PM] Gwaradzimba: Good night.

[3/25/2021, 9:19 PM] mdmawere1: I thought it would be only fair to not confuse or conflate issues.

The house has nothing to do with SMM.

As such, if any relationship existed you would have known this.

You already said you didn’t know and there would be no justification for SMM’s lawyers to deal with me on matters that fall outside your knowledge.

I just need the current actors and they will only deal with what they know.

I don’t see any prejudice that would arise as they operated without your knowledge and my knowledge.

There should be no issue with disclosing their names.

[3/25/2021, 9:23 PM] Gwaradzimba: But SMM is involved in paying house expenses, and so let’s find out as to how that came about?

[3/25/2021, 9:26 PM] mdmawere1: I hear you. But you didn’t know the relationship of SMM with the house to justify this agency.

It means that absent my consent, who instructed SMM to make the payments?

[3/25/2021, 9:27 PM] mdmawere1: Was the rent equal to the expenses?

[3/25/2021, 9:29 PM] Gwaradzimba: But I now know that SMM is involved, and I can’t ignore that.

[3/25/2021, 9:30 PM] Gwaradzimba: You will see the analyzed information.

[3/25/2021, 9:30 PM] mdmawere1: How does SMM get involved without my consent?

[3/25/2021, 9:31 PM] mdmawere1: The effect of reconstruction was to divest and deprive me of any relationship with SMM.

[3/25/2021, 9:32 PM] Gwaradzimba: I thought that’s what we have agreed to find out about.

[3/25/2021, 9:32 PM] mdmawere1: If you didn’t know anything then you cannot be expected to know only now.

[3/25/2021, 9:33 PM] Gwaradzimba: I think I will not discuss this with you like the courts here in Zimbabwe and in SA have dealt with that. I know what you know, and this is not the platform to deal with that.

[3/25/2021, 9:34 PM] mdmawere1: Indeed. Hence there is no need to bring SMM in my personal affairs after reconstruction.

[3/25/2021, 9:34 PM] Gwaradzimba: I told you there is something called materiality in my field of expertise that I will not discuss with you.

[3/25/2021, 9:35 PM] Gwaradzimba: SMM is still under reconstruction until all liabilities are paid off and it’s mines have resumed operations.

[3/25/2021, 9:36 PM] mdmawere1: You suggested that my house was under your control but it was not material.

This is what I am taking from this thread.

If so, then why should you now be involved.

[3/25/2021, 9:37 PM] mdmawere1: This is a separate issue. The issue here is about what you deem to be immaterial and as such, you had no reason to deal with this.

If a legal nexus exists in relation to the house, then this should exist and there is no reason to wait for anything on a dispute of fact.

[3/25/2021, 9:47 PM] Gwaradzimba: Ndambokutaurirai kuti what you expect is like me expecting to know kuti masvosve apfuvura nepamunhanga penyu mangani, and to me that’s absurd. Again, I don’t expect you and me to be going this low. I know you, and I have never contacted you in any form or shape, except when I wrote you a letter in September 2004, asking that we met and discuss how best we could deal with the bombshell in front of us, which letter you completely ignored.

This time I have entertained this discussion, believing that with age, comes maturity and wisdom. Alas!

[3/25/2021, 9:48 PM] Gwaradzimba: Morara zvakanaka Dziva.

[3/25/2021, 9:51 PM] mdmawere1: I am lost entirely. I didn’t expect you to engage on this issue.

I had taken it that you were in the dark but you seem not willing to link me to the actual actors.

There should be nothing to protect and let the people who made decisions without your and my knowledge provide their knowledge.

You would not expect anything less than transparency.

[3/25/2021, 9:54 PM] mdmawere1: Not sure what letter you are talking about. Are you sure you addressed a letter to me and I refused to respond to it?

[3/25/2021, 9:56 PM] Gwaradzimba: The actors will be known once all the information is on the table. Why is that hard for you to realize?

[3/25/2021, 9:57 PM] mdmawere1: I don’t expect you to be personally involved hence the request for the names of the actual actors.

[3/25/2021, 10 PM] Gwaradzimba: Yes, not being sure, but I know. I believed we were more than just people who knew each other, and we needed to discuss everything and agree as to how to deal with the matter. That’s in the past now. Now let’s have the wisdom and wait for the facts before we can spend another night chatting without getting any solution.

[3/25/2021, 10:00 PM] mdmawere1: I never received any letter from you.

[3/25/2021, 10:01 PM] Gwaradzimba: I don’t have the actors but am asking management to find out. Again, why is this too difficult for you to see?

[3/25/2021, 10:01 PM] Gwaradzimba: Of course, I have a copy which is of no use any more.

[3/25/2021, 10:04 PM] mdmawere1: Who are the names so that I may refresh my memory about the allegation that SMM was engaged by me to handle my house?

You were not involved in the matter and it is evident that your version is unfamiliar to me.

The house preceded your appointment.

It is for this reason and having understood that you were not personally involved, that I request that you give me the names who were handling my property without benefiting me with any information and the services rendered.

[3/25/2021, 10:04 PM] mdmawere1: For what it is worth, you can share a copy.

[3/25/2021, 10:07 PM] Gwaradzimba: Sorry, but I have told you that those in SMM management today were not there when the issue of SMM’s involvement in your house came to being, and so they tell me. So what names do you want me to provide to you?

[3/25/2021, 10:08 PM] mdmawere1: Those who are dealing with the matter. What if they pocketed the rental money without your and my knowledge?

[3/25/2021, 10:09 PM] mdmawere1: Who is giving instructions to them? Prior to my engaging you, who was giving them instructions, if any?

[3/25/2021, 10:09 PM] mdmawere1: Who negotiated the rentals? Who signed the contracts, if any?

[3/25/2021, 10:10 PM] Gwaradzimba: If they did, it will come out, as the information is on lease agreements and on invoices for payments made.

[3/25/2021, 10:11 PM] Gwaradzimba: Why can’t you wait to get that information as we have discussed all night?

[3/25/2021, 10:11 PM] mdmawere1: Perhaps we should refer this matter to law enforcement organs so that we can be freed from this.

[3/25/2021, 10:12 PM] mdmawere1: I am now more concerned that you did not know and yet these guys would treat as dead people.

[3/25/2021, 10:12 PM] Gwaradzimba: That’s your call, not mine.

[3/25/2021, 10:13 PM] mdmawere1: I am not sure whether you want this to be solved or you are saying that SMM was entitled to handle the matter in this manner.

[3/28/2021, 7:14 PM] Gwaradzimba: What a bumper harvest for you!! Enjoy.

[3/28/2021, 7:14 PM] mdmawere1: Who is this from

[3/28/2021, 7:15 PM] mdmawere1: Are you speaking to Mr. Fred Mutanda?

[3/28/2021, 7:15 PM] mdmawere1: On another call. Will call shortly
