Saviour Kasukuwere, the local government minister, has been accused of engaging in corrupt practices by Zanu PF female miners in Mashonaland Central. The women claim that Kasukuwere is working with his brother Dickson Mafios to illegally grab their mines. The miners also claim that Kasukuwere is a loose cannon trying to destroy the party and have taken the Minister to the High Court to stop him.
The Women in Mining Trust, Rass Mining Syndicate, Chehumambe Mining Syndicate and Community Mining Syndicate, all owned by Zanu PF women miners, applied for an interdict. Part of the interdict reads:
As members of the Central Committee, we feel that first respondent (Cde Kasukuwere) has become some kind of a loose cannon whose unbridled corruption is destroying the party left, right and centre.
For purposes of litigation, however, it is my testimony that applicants are indeed in grave danger of losing their mines illegally unless respondents are interdicted from their unlawful acts.
