Leader of opposition party, Labour, Economists and African Democrats, LEAD, Linda Masarira has appeared before court facing allegations of property theft. It is alarming that a woman in her position would be associated with a crime such as this. In addition to being the President of LEAD, she is also the former spokesperson for the MDC-T party led by Thokozani Khupe. Did she stand to gain much from this maneuver such that it would be worth risking her career? The answer to that might is surprising.
The crime allegedly committed by Masarira seems to have gains that would amount to US$3140. A crime is a crime and we do not endorse any form of thievery, however, we are forced to ask if US$3140 is an amount Masarira deemed worth putting her career on the line for. If it is, we shudder to think of the shambles our country might really be in.
Linda Masarira is said to have been left in custody of her landlords property in Marlborough. However, a year later when Madamombe, the landlord, decided to collect his property it was missing. The court stated that Madamombe is said to have discovered that Masarira had sold his property and converted the money for her own use.
