ZACC Probes Chimombe, Mpofu Over Botched US$87 Million Presidential Goat Scheme

Economic Empowerment Group (EEG) president Mike Chimombe and his business partner Moses Mpofu are under investigation by the Zimbabwe Anti-corruption Commission (ZACC), over a botched US$87 million Presidential Goat Scheme.

According to a leaked ZACC memorandum dated 07 June 2024, Chimombe and Mpofu potentially face charges of contravening section 113 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act chapter 9:23 relating to the theft of trust property, and section 8(2) of the Money Laundering and Proceeds of Crime Act.

It is alleged that the duo were paid US$40 million by the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development for them to supply and deliver goats meant to support underprivileged households across the country under the Presidential Goats Scheme.

It is further alleged that after Mpofu and Chimombe received the funds from the Treasury, they did not deliver the goats as agreed but they went on and converted the funds for their use through purchasing luxurious houses and vehicles. Reads the memo:

Investigations that ensued established that on 16 November 2021, the Government of Zimbabwe represented by the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development entered into a contract agreement with Blackdeck Livestock and Poultry Farming represented by Moses Mpofu valued at US$ 87 757 168.00 for the supply and delivery of 632 001 goats over a period of five years.

Investigations conducted established that there is no company registered in Zimbabwe as Blackdeck Livestock and Poultry Farming, rather there is Blackdeck Private Limited registered on 12 February 2015 with two Directors being Moses Mpofu and Phinas Hazvineyi Kabisira.
Investigations further established the two parties agreed that the Ministry of Lands would make an advance payment of 30% to Blackdeck Livestock and Poultry Farming towards the purchasing of the said goats.
Further investigations established that on 21 April 2022 and 29 June 2022, the Ministry of Lands transferred ZWL$901 294 200.00 and ZWL$698 705 800.00 respectively into Blackdeck CABS bank account number 1006126120 towards the supply and delivery of the said goats.
The total amount transferred by the Ministry of Lands to Blackdeck to date is ZWL$1.6 billion or US$7 712 197.10 converted at interbank rate.

The memo indicated that the investigation is ongoing as ZACC was seeking to get a reconciliation of the total number of goats delivered to date to the Ministry of Lands by Blackdeck.

ZACC also sought to obtain Blackdeck’s CABS bank statement in which the funds for the purchasing of the said goats were deposited by the Ministry of Lands.

So the ministry approved a tender to a non-existent company??? why didn't they do background checks to ensure that the company had the capacity to deliver the goats ???

Why did the treasury pay them in the first place??? Did they have a reputation and ability to supply the goats??? Or it's a coverup for the ChivhayoGate scandals.

All these scandals are centrally controlled. They cannot be resolved outside the state house. We must remove the thief-in-chief. A nation cannot be this corrupt daily without drawing the attention of its CEO. Every citizen is worried and talking except the state president.

The cause of massive poverty in Zim is now coming in the open for everyone to see. Is it sanctions or its massive corruption.

Their crime is trying to expose the second in command. The duo will definitely feel the anger of Vene. Chivharo is just a hand man used to accumulate wealth for Vene using his criminal record
