By A Correspondent- A Chitungwiza land baron who is also a close ally of the former Local Government Minister, Fredrick Mabamba, has died in remand prison.

Mabamba was arrested and was at Harare Remand Prison for allegedly illegal parcelling out of state land.

One of his close aides who preferred anonymity confirmed his death.
“Yes, it is true that Mabamba has died. He collapsed at remand prison and was rushed to Parirenyatwa (group of Hospitals) where he was pronounced dead upon arrival,” said the aide.

National Police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said he was yet to get the details.

Mabamba served as Chitungwiza Deputy Mayor during the then Local Government Minister Ignatius Chombo at the turn of the millennium.

It is during this time that the police said Mabamba grabbed hundreds of residential and commercial stands in Chitungwiza, which he was now selling to desperate home seekers.
