Former Norton MP Temba Mliswa has withdrawn fraud charges against Chegutu RDC Chairperson Tatenda Gwinji.
Gwinji was taken to court after he failed to deliver a vehicle in return of a US$35 000 payment.
According to the case Mliswa paid around US$10 000 in legal fees for Gwinji.
A further US$25 000 was paid to Chegutu RDC.
In return Gwinji agreed to hand over a Toyota Hilux GD6 vehicle registration number AAE 8748.
However, Gwinji refused to hand over the vehicle when his trial was completed.
This led to the opening of the case.
Mliswa however revealed that the vehicle has now been delivered resulting in withdrawn charges.
“I reported a case of fraud against Tatenda Gwinji in which he had defrauded me of US$35 000.
“I now wish to withdraw the charges against the accused person.
“(This is) after surrendering the vehicle in question Reg number AAE 8748 Toyota Hilux GD6 registered in the name of Chegutu Rural District Council”.
