GEGE MP IN E1M PROPERTY AND LAND CONTROVERSIES

MAKHOWENI – Gege MP Mbongiseni Malinga is caught in over E1million land and property controversies involving seven residents of Makholweni and Logoba.

The MP has built flats and bedsitters on most of the land that he either purchased or ventured in partnership with alleged owners.

Amid the land transactions and agreements, some members of the families are contesting on the grounds that Malinga purchased the property from members of the families who had no authority to sell it.

The MP has received an order from the Regional Administrator and the office of the Attorney General, stopping him from carrying out any construction on some of the areas.

He confirmed that on Monday, two weeks ago, he was served with a letter from the Attorney General’s office. In one case, he bought a homestead from a 24-year-old man, which he extended and built some flats. Some of these cases have even gone to court and most are still pending.

Telling her version, Winile Ali said the MP built flats on almost a quarter of her family land.
“When we approached him about this he said he acquired the land from one Morris Gumedze, who is a nephew to the Ali family. We have challenged this, at the umphakatsi where it was declared that Morris should not be selling any property here because this was not his parental home but he had one somewhere at Mahlanya where the Gumedzes are.”

She said the umphakatsi ruled that Gumedze should return to his parental home.
The MP admitted that he partnered with Gumedze in the land transaction and building of flats.

He denied though that Gumedze was not entitled to the land on which he built the flats.
