Dickson Mafios, brother to Saviour Kasukuwere, was accused of ransacking Zanu PF party offices and getting away with property worth thousands of dollars. Mafios was allegedly assisted by his secretary Ms Rutendo Nyamangara. This information was presented to the Zanu PF Mashonaland Central executive, which went on to endorse a petition to expel Mafios and Kasukuwere.
It was speculated that Mafios took the computers because they contained incriminating evidence. However, the computers were later recovered with the aid of the police.
Police chief spokesperson Senior Assistant Commissioner Charity Charamba said:
Yes, Officer-in-Charge Bindura accompanied party members to go and recover the computers, but their explanation (Mafios and the secretary) was that they removed the computers for safekeeping after receiving reports that there was going to be a demonstration at the party offices.
No formal report was made to the police relating to the missing property and the police were only asked to accompany the party members.
