By Court Correspondent| There was drama at the Harare Magistrates Court this morning when the prolific MDC President Nelson Chamisa’s lawyer, Thabani Mpofu turned up to represent a fraudster who says he is the late property mogul, Edward Pfugari’s son.

Adv Mpofu is representing Mr Edward Bayiti Rwendela, who in South Africa uses the knickname, Foreman.

Edward Bayiti has forged a fake birth certificate and created a fake educational profile so that he can obtain a residency permit in Zimbabwe.

The South African man only turned up after 39 years to begin claiming that he is the son of the late businessman who passed away last year in February, and in the latest development he has forged company documents to demand a 50% stake in the man’s entire business empire, pushing away 4 for surviving children.

Adv Mpofu was once billed to represent the same Pfugari siblings he is now opposing, on the same case. Having adulterated his robe, as it were, Adv Mpofu today told the court Edward Bayiti might have committed fraud but he remains the son of the late businessman.

He asked the court to throw out the case. – MORE TO FOLLOW…
