Mike Chimombe And Moses Mpofu Denied Bail

Harare regional magistrate, Marehwanazvo Gofa has denied bail to Mike Chimombe and Moses Mpofu who are facing fraud charges after they allegedly misappropriated US$7 million from the Presidential Goats Scheme.

Gofa said Chimombe and Mpofu are facing a serious charge, adding that the duo could interfere with State witnesses. Said Gofa (via The Herald):

In as much as this is not yet a trial, the accused were supposed to offer meaningful defence. They do not have plausible defence. They also failed to tender documentary evidence to prove that their company documents were legit.

Chimombe and Mpofu will return to court on August 7, 2024, for indictment, as the trial will be heard at the High Court.

Prosecutor Anesu Chirenje alleged that Mpofu and Chimombe forged documents to secure the tender to supply 600,000 goats under the Presidential Goat Scheme.

He said investigations revealed that Blackdeck Pvt Ltd, the company linked to the accused, which they allegedly used to defraud the government, did not have a valid tax clearance.

The reference on the NSSA compliance certificate was issued to a different company, according to the prosecution.

It is alleged that Blackdeck Pvt Ltd was de-registered from the NSSA system in January 2016.

The court heard that acting on the misrepresentation, on 16 November 2021 the Ministry of Lands entered into an agreement with Blackdeck for the supply of 632 001 goats valued at US$87,7 million.

Between April and June 2022, the ministry transferred ZWL1.6 billion, which was equivalent to US$7 712 197, into the company’s bank account.

Consequently, their contract was cancelled on 29 August 2022 after Chimombe and Mpofu only supplied 4 208 goats valued at US$331 445.

They went on to convert US$7 380 751 to their personal use.

Critics argued that Chimombe and Mpofu’s arrest may be in retaliation for exposing alleged underhand deals between Wicknell Chivayo and the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), which implicated several high-ranking government officials.

Chivayo is an ex-convict and an associate of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, as well as a ZANU PF donor

Zimbabwe is extremely rich. A goat selling for US$132. I can supply cows at that price. This corruption stinks to high heaven, in the corporate world there is what is called due diligence, before awarding a tender you have to make background checks to establish the potential of applicants to supply the goods. A background check would have established that the company was not capable, failure to do background checks is an act of ommision and negligence of duty for what you are being paid for, it is a punishable offence as it is. Dai pasina kuti huori hwacho hunotangira kuna number 1 we would have seen heads rolling. Cry my beloved Zimbabwe

I am reliably informed, it was Isaac Moyo who directed that the duo be denied bail, he is upset over the leaking of an audio that implicates him in corruption
