$1.4m ring saga: Grace Mugabe ordered off properties
By Tafirenyika Chikove
High Court has ordered First Lady Grace Mugabe to remove her proxies from three houses she confiscated from a Lebanese diamond dealer, Jamal Ahmed whom she demands to refund her a whopping $1,35 million she paid for a 10, 07 carat diamond ring.
In a ruling delivered on Wednesday by High Court judge Justice Clement Phiri, Grace’s proxies were ordered off the three properties in 24 hours of being served with the order.
Grace had allegedly taken over three properties belonging to Ahmed demanding a full refund for a ring she bought from Dubai.
But Ahmed, told her he had used a third party and the refund, would take long, which Grace rejected and proceeded to confiscate the three properties owned by the diamond dealer.
This prompted Ahmed to approach the courts to recover his properties and seek protection from the threats he was continuously receiving from Grace’s first son Russell Goreraza.
The seized properties include number 409 Harare Drive and 18 Cambridge Road in Avondale.
Ahmed’s lawyer, Beatrice Mtetwa yesterday confirmed the latest development, and Grace’s lawyer Wilson Manase also confirmed the order, but said he would challenge it.
