A family in Lusaka’s Matero Township has been left devastated after their house, which accomodated tenants, was demolished under unclear circumstances.
Cynthia Mbewe, daughter of the property owner, says she was alerted by tenants that the house was being brought down on claims it had been sold to a Somali national four years ago, who now wants to develop it.
Ms. Mbewe has alleged that forged documents were used in the sale, implicating one of her aunties who previously lost a court case over the same property.
She has revealed that the house, purchased by her parents in 1996, has been tied up in a long-running legal dispute with her aunt for several years.
