Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Mines and Mining Development minister Winston Chitando has been accused of illegally taking over eight gold mining claims belonging to businessman Yakub Ibrahim Mahomed\u2019s company, Anesu Gold (Pvt) Ltd.<\/p>\n

Chitando allegedly then re-issued the claims under a special grant to Golden Reef Mining (Pvt) Ltd, in which he has interests.<\/p>\n

Mohamed filed a High Court application seeking to interdict Chitando, Mines secretary Onesimo Moyo, Golden Reef Mining, and Midlands provincial mining director Tariro Ndhlovu from taking over the mining claims.<\/p>\n

The businessman claims Anesu Gold is the registered owner of the gold claims in Mberengwa District which are also referred to as Mangoro claims (Ipanema).<\/p>\n

The matter was set for hearing on Monday but High Court judge Justice Rogers Manyangadze postponed it to 24 February at the request of Chitando\u2019s lawyer, Takudzwa Mutomba.<\/p>\n

Mutomba said Chitando, together with Moyo and Ndhlovu had secured the services of a new lawyer, Lovemore Madhuku, who was tied up elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Welshman Ncube is representing Golden Reef Mining while Advocate Tawanda Zhuwarara is representing Anesu Gold.<\/p>\n
