Top ZANU PF Councillor for Murewa South Constituency, Josephat Kamwendo, was allegedly caught three times in bed with different women, one of them who is married and the husband nearly fired bullets on him, allegations which have seen Kamwendo being shown the exit door by his constituency.
 
Kamwendo who has responded refuting the reports as he blamed everything on muddy politics and ZANU PF infighting, has since been given the boot. In an exclusive brief interview which he abruptly cut off, Kamwendo told ZimEye.com the allegations are not true despite the presence of recorded videos of women charging at him and others vocalising that the suspended Councillor did of a truth engage in illicit affairs.
 
One source told ZimEye.com “On adultery charges Kamwendo was caught three times with married women in Macheke of whom I can only name Mrs NAME WITHHELD because I was there when he was caught and he was nearly shot by the husband. “Mr NAME WITHHELD” who is a very prominent Macheke business man. And about the fraud issues, the complainants produced text messages from Kamwendo demanding bribes in order to release stands to them and also he called one of his victims “Mrs Chitanda” promising her a stand if she withdrew her case from the police, not knowing that she was already at the police station the time she got his phone call.”
 
The source continued, saying, “ Kamwendo was given time to defend himself at the Zanu PF meetings but he never turned up for the meetings until his conviction and he was taken to court yesterday where the case was stepped down to another day and he was given a bail out of US $1 800.00. He was convicted together with his partner Dennis Nyambudu a former police officer whom Kamwendo used, to receive the money from his clients. The crimes were brought to the awareness of the Minister of State and Local Governance “Cde Joel Biggie Matiza” who is also the representative of that constituency in the house of assembly by “Vernon Chidongo and Miffion Handrek” who are well recognized for their business and academic achievements in the area.
 
When contacted on Saturday Kamwendo dismissed the allegations saying they are false and malicious, “Those are political elements who are just trying to pull me down, there is nothing of that sort that happened, that’s all,” said Kamwendo just before hanging up the call after being grilled on the Friday court case.
