The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Anti-Corruption_Commission/">Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC)</a> has announced that a senior officer in the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) has been convicted and sentenced to four years in prison for extortion.
In a statement seen by Pindula News, ZACC said Patrick Badza, the convicted officer, demanded a payment of USD9,900 from a Chinese investor who sought work permits for his workers. Badza threatened to deny the permits if the payment was not made.
The ZACC investigated the matter and arrested Badza, who subsequently faced trial and was found guilty.
The issue of extortion in Zimbabwe remains a persistent problem, as evidenced by recent reports of corruption involving law enforcement officials. In April 2022, three officers from different security agencies were arrested and charged with soliciting a bribe at the Beitbridge border post. The accused individuals, who were part of a joint operation against smuggling and illegal border crossings, allegedly demanded a bribe of R6,500 from a motorist travelling from South Africa. The victim paid the bribe and subsequently reported the incident to a relative who then filed a complaint with the Beitbridge Customs and Excise Regional Manager. The matter was then reported to the police, leading to the arrest of the three officers who were subsequently charged with criminal abuse of office. The magistrate remanded them in custody after the prosecutor successfully opposed bail. 
In 2019, the Zimbabwe Morning Post reported that some retired ministers from the ruling party ZANU-PF, who were employed at the party’s headquarters, had taken over the mandate of the Zimbabwe Investment Authority (ZIA) to promote and facilitate foreign and local investment. According to the publication, investors were directed to the ZANU-PF headquarters to discuss their business interests before going to the ZIA. The report suggested that these <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2019/06/10/zanu-pf-heavyweights-scaring-investors-by-demanding-huge-bribes/">ZANU-PF officials were demanding large kickbacks from investors as facilitation fees.</a> This situation raised concerns about the credibility of the ZIA and the country’s investment climate.
These reports emerged after Zimbabwe lost a billion-dollar investment from Dangote in 2015 due to demands for kickbacks from former first lady Grace Mugabe’s team.
Recently, President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Emmerson_Mnangagwa/">Emmerson Mnangagwa</a> acknowledged the presence of and expressed concern about the corruption and bureaucracy that is scaring away investors. He called for an end to the practice of moving investors from office to office and person to person, which often leads to disappointment and frustration.

ZACC Confirms Senior CIO Officer Sentenced To 4 Years In Prison For Extortion

The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) is investigating executives from the Industrial Development Corporation of Zimbabwe (IDC) who reportedly attempted to “bribe” President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Vice President Constantino Chiwenga using fertilisers.
The probe was launched after some disgruntled IDC employees presented a dossier to ZACC of alleged corrupt activities by IDC general manager Winstone Makamure and chairperson Tome that included the flouting of tender procedures.
Makamure and Tome allegedly bought fertilisers without following the due tender process and tried to donate them to Mnangagwa and Chiwenga.
The two IDC executives were allegedly trying to influence the two leaders to give them an audience so that they could defend themselves against corruption allegations levelled against them.
However, Mnangagwa and Chiwenga are said to have refused to entertain Makamure and Tome. Part of the dossier submitted to ZACC reads:
<blockquote>
Tome is pushing to be appointed substantive general manager so that he can cover up his shenanigans.
He favours management instead of general staff in terms of salaries and benefits.
Resultantly, the chairman and the general manager are in connivance to ensure that their misdeeds are covered up.
They bought 30 tonnes of fertilisers from (a company named) and donated to HE (Mnangagwa) and VP (Chiwenga) to buy their audience, but both refused to entertain them and just told them to leave the fertilisers in Kwekwe.
They haven’t met them up to now. The company is struggling to pay for the fertiliser up to now.
</blockquote>
Anyway Mutambudzi the chief director for presidential communications, on Saturday told <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/thestandard/news/article/200007064/ed-chiwenga-bribe-backfires">The Standard</a> he could not comment on a matter that was under investigation. He said:
<blockquote>
We would not want to interfere with the investigations. ZACC can respond to that.
</blockquote>
ZACC spokesperson Thandiwe Mlobane confirmed the developments and said the matter was being investigated under case number HCR26/01/23.
ZACC investigators reportedly entered IDC offices on 24 January and served the institution with a warrant of search and seizure.
Makamure and Tome are also accused of abusing power and nepotism.
Contacted for comment by The Standard, Tome said he was in a meeting. He had not responded by the time of going to print.
Makamure also did not respond to questions sent to him by the publication.

Attempt To "Bribe" Mnangagwa, Chiwenga Fails

Police officers have been warned against taking bribes from motorists at roadblocks as this results in road traffic accidents as unroadworthy vehicles are allowed on the roads.
Assistant commissioner Levi Sibanda warned that those found wanting will face the full wrath of the law. He said:
<blockquote>
When we introspect we look at the statistics where our citizens lost their lives through accidents. It is indeed disturbing.
I am encouraging enforcement agencies not to accept bribes from motorists. And also to encourage our transporters not to bribe or not be part and parcel of this very bad and unnecessary arrangement within our society.
We expect your fleets to be roadworthy. You must not buy your presence on our roads through bribes.
</blockquote>
He was speaking at the World Day or Road Traffic Victims commemorations held in Bulawayo this week.
23 people were reportedly arrested in July this year within a period of four hours for bribery at a roadblock along the Harare-Bulawayo highway.
According to official data, more than 1 500 people lost their lives through road accidents between January and September this year while 7 851 were injured countrywide.
Transport and Infrastructure Development Minister, Felix Mhona, called for cooperation among stakeholders to curb road traffic accidents. He said:
<blockquote>
We, therefore, call for partnerships and collaborations with religious communities, organised labour, business, government institutions and civil society to mitigate the occurrences and ugly impacts of his scourge.
The carnage on our roads must stop. We can’t go on pretending day by day that someone, someday will come and make a change.
Road safety is our absolute responsibility. Surely, it can only be through us that we put an end to this.
This is a war we can win as roughly 94% of road traffic accidents are directly attributed to human error.
A change in human behaviour could therefore easily result in a lowering of the worrisome statistic.
All of us want to end this carnage. All of us must end this carnage. It is now or never.

Police Officers Warned Against Taking Bribes

Former Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) boss Henrietta Rushwaya has been declared not guilty of bribery allegations by a Harare magistrate.
The Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) president was accused of offering a US$5 000 bribe to an airport official in a bid to smuggle gold worth US$330 000.
The State alleged that Rushwaya attempted to bribe a Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ) official Owen Sibanda to allow her to pass through the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport with gold.
Rushwaya had denied the allegations. She said she did not have any money on the day in question and that she never avoided the normal airport routines.
Harare magistrate Learnmore Mapiye ruled that the State’s case was too weak for a reasonable court to convict. He also upheld Rushwaya’s arguments. Said Mapiye:
<blockquote>
The State witness did not support that the accused avoided the ordinary route.
It is also common cause that Owen Sibanda, the key witness, said that he was not offered any money but was going to be offered US$5 000.
Sibanda said that he took the issue of the bribe as a joke which the court was shocked about because the issue of the bribery is not a joke.
The State witness told the court that the accused was arrested for travelling with gold without proper documents but the evidence of the State witness, especially the first one, was not convincing.
The accused might have committed the offence but the State failed to prove beyond belief that she could have committed the offence.
</blockquote>
Rushwaya was cleared of the charge after a full trial.

Henrietta Rushwaya Acquitted... Magistrate Says State's Case Too Weak

A Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) officer, a Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) officer, and a member of the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) are in remand prison on charges of soliciting a bribe.
Munyaradzi Mupesa (32) of CIO Tsholotsho, Tyron Makati (31) of ZRP Victoria Falls and Trust Mirirayi (45) of the Mechanised Battalion in Darwendale were part of a crack team stationed at the Beitbridge border post for a joint operation against smuggling and border jumping when they committed the alleged offence.
The trio allegedly demanded a R6 500 bribe from a motorist travelling from South Africa through the Beitbridge border post on 7 April this year.
The suspects allegedly stopped Martin Severino who was driving a South African registered vehicle with a fake Temporary Import Permit and demanded a bribe.
After paying the bribe, Severino allegedly informed a relative who is also a councillor, Takavingei Mahachi.
Mahachi filed a complaint with the Beitbridge Customs and Excise Regional Manager Kenneth Mungati who reported the matter to the police, leading to the arrest of the security officers.
They appeared before Beitbridge Resident Magistrate Tafadzwa Gwazemba facing charges of criminal abuse of office.
The magistrate remanded the trio in custody to 5 May after Prosecutor Tinayeishe Matenga successfully opposed bail.

CIO, Soldier, Police Officer Arrested For Demanding A Bribe

ZANU PF on Tuesday refuted allegations by MDC-Alliance secretary-general Chalton Hwende that the ruling party attempted to bribe opposition leaders.
In a post on social media, Hwende claimed that that President Mnangagwa offered millions of dollars, cars, mines, farms among others to MDC-A leaders in a bid to destroy the opposition movement.
Hwende’s remarks came after Mnangagwa had handed over 19 Isuzu D-Max vehicles to Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD) members last Friday.
ZANU PF spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo said Mnangagwa has no business sponsoring opposition leaders. He said:
<blockquote>
In a statement on Monday Mr Charlton Hwende of MDC Alliance claimed that His Excellency President E.D Mnangagwa and First Secretary of ZANU PF had made attempts to pay millions of dollars to MDC Alliance officials in an effort to destroy the party. Surely one wonders what weed Charlton Hwende smokes.
For some time, he has been quiet on the political scene but resurrected when President Mnangagwa had given out cars to Political Actors Dialogue leaders to use on development work.
</blockquote>
Khaya-Moyo said it was not Mnangagwa’s problem that the MDC-Alliance had refused to join POLAD.

</li>
</ul>
He said the cars were publicly provided to POLAD leaders so that they contribute to nation-building. Added Khaya-Moyo:
<blockquote>
The MDC-A has nothing to offer to the people of Zimbabwe. As we battle to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic through mass vaccination and resuscitating the economy, let daydreamers like Chalton Hwende and the MDC-A continue in deep slumber.
They are used to receiving from donors as we know, ZANU PF has no such.

"We Wonder What Weed Hwende Is Smoking", ZANU PF Responds To Bribery Allegations

The trial of Wicknell Chivayo and his company Intratrek Zimbabwe (Pvt) Limited, along with former Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) board chairperson Stanley Kazhanje kicked off on Friday at the Harare Magistrates Court.
Intratrek is alleged to have paid a US$10 000 bribe to Kazhanje in 2016, but both parties denied the charges.
Kazhanje has applied to have the charge against him dropped saying he has already been convicted of hiding the transaction.
He asserts the transaction was a straightforward business payment made in 2014 before he took the ZPC post, from his principle.
Chivayo and his company, represented by Advocate Lewis Uriri, denied ever transferring the US$10 000 to Kazhanje as a bribe.
Intratrek avers the payment to Kazhanje as payment for consultancy services rendered to his firm before Kazhanje joined the ZPC board.
Kazhanje, represented by Advocate Tawanda Nyamakura, denied the charges, saying he was once convicted on the same payment and applied that the charges be dismissed.
Brian Vito, appearing for the State, is expected to reply to Kazhanje’s application for dismissal of the charges.
Regional magistrate Ngoni Nduna presided.

The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA), has dismissed as fake as a WhatsApp screenshot circulating on social media alleging that Technical Director Wilson Mutekede accepted a bribe from a player who wants to play for the Warriors.
In the conversation in question, Mutekede is alleged to be speaking to a player giving him assurance that he has a place in the Warriors squad to face Algeria, with the player promising money in exchange.
ZIFA spokesperson Xolisani Gwesela said the chat was created by people who want to soil Mutekede’ reputation, saying this is not the first time ZIFA officials have been targeted. Said Gwesela:
<blockquote>As ZIFA we can confirm that we have seen the purported chat and we have spoken to Mtekede and we have also checked his text messages and, it appears, this is just another plot to try and smear his name.
As you are aware, a number of ZIFA officials have been targeted, in recent months, in such smear campaigns and there are some people out there whose mission is just to ensure that they denigrate the characters of the ZIFA officials.
It is possible to create a false chat, in this digital age, and this appears to be one of them because it’s not the first time we have seen Mtekede, and other ZIFA officials, being targeted.</blockquote>
Below is a screenshot of the chat in question:

ZIFA Clears Mutekede Of Bribery Allegations

A junior female police officer has filed a report of attempted rape against a senior male officer who she allegedly assaulted in Norton on Saturday.
The senior officer, Chief Superintendent Johannes Govo, based at Police General Headquarters, had tried to apprehend Constable Melody Tsikayi for receiving a bribe at a roadblock in Norton when the alleged assault and attempted rape took place.
A leaked memo indicated that Govo had to seek medical treatment for the injuries he sustained at the hands of his junior. The memo reads:
<blockquote>On May 29, 2020, at around 1700hrs and at 39km peg along Harare-Bulawayo Road opposite Karina Service Station, Norton, Chief Superintendent Govo, who was in civilian clothes, was driving past a roadblock mounted by ZRP Norton Urban members led by Sergeant Masiya and four other members, including the accused.
He disembarked from his vehicle and walked towards the roadblock site. The accused then assaulted the complainant several times on the face and head. Sergeant Masiya went into the bush after he heard a shout for help and restrained the two who were manhandling each other, that is when he realised that the two were Constable Tsikayi and Chief Superintendent Govo.
The complainant (Govo) was then referred for medical examination. Investigations are in progress. Constable Tsikayi also made a report of attempted rape against Chief Superintendent Govo alleging that she had gone to the bush to relieve herself and was surprised when she was grabbed from behind and dragged to a secluded place where he attempted to rape her, Norton RRB 4419436 refers.</blockquote>

Memory Sibanda, the widow of Onward Machangara who was allegedly killed in cold blood by two police officers has filed a lawsuit against Police Commissioner-General, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Godwin_Matanga" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Godwin Matanga</a> and Home affairs minister, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Cain_Mathema" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cain Mathema</a> for $540 000 in compensation.
In her founding affidavit, Sibanda said on March 4 her husband and colleague were stopped by armed police officers while driving a truckload of firewood in Southlea Park and ordered to lie on the ground. She explained:
<blockquote>The friend followed the order and lay down but Machangara refused. Instead, he asked his friend to stand up. The police officer threatened to shoot Machangara but still, he did not comply.
The police officer cocked his AK rifle and shot him on his upper back. The bullet pierced through his collar bone. He fell to the ground and died on the spot.</blockquote>
Sibanda filed the lawsuit at the High Court where she claims to have suffered trauma over her husband’s death and having to look after 6 children on her own.
The $540 000 is split as follows, $500 000 being damages for loss of support, $20 000 being damages for the nervous shock she suffered as a result of the traumatic circumstances of her husband’s death and $20 000 for funeral expenses.

Women pressure groups have warned that they will expose journalists and members of the Zimbabwe Republic Police allegedly working in cahoots with Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries (PHD) founder and leader, Walter Magaya to cover up his misdeeds.
Gender Media Connect Director Abigail Gamanya told the media in Harare on Friday that some journalists and police officers are being bribed by Magaya to withhold information that will incriminate him. She said:
<blockquote>We appreciate the media for exposing the scandals that are alleged against Magaya, however, there are journalists and members of the police said to be bribed to withhold information and interfering to prevent the Man of God to be brought to book, we are going to name and shame them if necessary so that we progress with this case.
I was talking to one journalist outside and we were saying that until that happens to your daughter or mother then you will try to get him arrested but for now that it’s happening to someone’s daughter you can accept a bribe.
… We understand it’s just a reflection of the times in which we just have to do what has to be done to get money but we cannot tolerate that.</blockquote>

Legislators have been accused of receiving top of the range vehicles as bribe from sugar manufacturer Tongaat Hulett so that they influence Government to issue the company with a land lease. Tongaat Hulett has no lease agreement with Government or any title to the 29 000 hectare sugar plantation after Government compulsorily acquired the land.
The issue came up during a tour of Tongaat Hulett by the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Lands, Agriculture and Resettlement chaired by Zanu-PF Gokwe Nembudziya MP Justice Mayor Wadyajena who has vowed to investigate the matter. Said Wadyajena:
<blockquote>There is an issue of vehicles that has been raised during this meeting, Land Cruisers, and we have also been told about their registration numbers. We have to investigate through holding public hearings among others strategies. We are going to deliberate all what we have been told and do our investigations before tabling a report of our findings before Parliament. </blockquote>
However, Tongaat Hulett managing director, Mr Sydney Mutsambiwa, said he was unaware of the matter even when he was warned that he could be charged with contempt of Parliament if it turned out that he was misleading the committee by saying he did not know anything.

MPs Accused Of Receiving Bribes From Tongaat Hulett

Harare businessman Lovemore Kurotwi has approached President Emmerson Mnangagwa in a bid to recover $17 million he says was seized by the State when he was forced out of the Chiadzwa diamond fields allegedly at the behest of former Mines minister Obert Mpofu whom he says had asked for a $10 million bribe.
In a letter to Mnangagwa dated January 4, Kurotwi said he lost $3,6 million cash which was in MMCZ’s (Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe) account, 1,4 million carats of diamonds and mining equipment worth $14 million which he had invested through his company called Canadile Miners. In by part of the letter which was seen by NewsDay, Kurotwi writes:
<blockquote>We were given this concession in partnership with Marange Resources, a government mining company under the auspices of ZMDC (Zimbabwe Mining Development Corporation). In fact, ZMDC guaranteed the partnership. However, as is on record, former Minister of Mines Obert Mpofu asked me for a bribe of $10 million. Upon my refusal to give him this bribe, minister Mpofu caused my arrest on unfounded allegations of fraud. Again as is now public knowledge, I was acquitted by the courts of law for these trumped-up charges.</blockquote>
Mpofu has in the past denied allegations that he demanded a $10 million bribe from Kurotwi. NewsDay could not get in touch with him for a comment as his mobile phone went unanswered.

$10 Million "Bribe" Haunts Obert Mpofu As Businessman Approaches Mnangagwa

Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA) spokesperson Douglas Mahiya has said that former Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) director general and Justice Minister Happyton Bonyongwe is bribing legislators in a bid to stop President Robert Mugabe’s impeachment process which is expected to start today. He said this while addressing Zimbabweans that are gathered at Africa Unity Square ahead of the impeachment proceedings.
Mahiya also claims that Esau Mupfumi is also trying to bribe members of Parliament in a bid to stop President Mugabe’s impeachment. Zanu-PF is expected to move a motion to impeach President Mugabe today. This comes after Zanu-PF’s Central Committee resolved to go ahead with the resolution to impeach Mugabe after he did not resign during his address on Sunday.

Inspector Takawira Sagireta, who is the officer-in-charge (board) at Police General Headquarters (PGHQ) in Harare was asked not to plead when he appeared before magistrate Josephine Sande on criminal abuse of office charges. He was granted him $100 bail and remanded the matter to September 1 to facilitate further investigations.
The court heard that sometime in September 2016, Sagireta approached Sergeant Sibongile Nyadundu, who is stationed at Mashonaland East ICT system administration, and told her that he could facilitate her transfer to the Zimbabwe Republic Police’s national traffic section. He allegedly demanded a $125 bribe from Nyadundu. On September 28 2016, Nyadundu’s husband, Tapiwa Munamato, who is employed by the Zimbabwe National Army, made a mobile money transfer of $75 into Sagireta’s CABS Bank account before he made another transfer of $50 into Sagireta’s mobile wallet the next day to bring the total to $125.
Nyadundu’s husband filed a report at the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) in May this year after Sarigeta failed to facilitate the transfer. On June 2, Zacc referred the matter to PGHQ for further investigations and later referred it to the Criminal Investigation Department’s Commercial Crimes Division, leading to Sagireta’s arrest.

Chikwanda was arrested after he was caught red-handed receiving a $10 from one Carpenter Dube in a sting operation set by the police. Chikwanda had arrested Dube after failing to locate his cousin Vincent Hlanganiso who is alleged to have run over a pedestrian. Chikwanda threatened to charge Dube with his relative’s crime unless he paid a $10 bribe to enable him to destroy Hlanganiso’s docket.
Dube reported the matter to the police leading to the arrest of Chikwanda after a trap had been set for him.
Provincial magistrate, Ngoni Nduna denied Chikwanda bail and remanded him in custody to July 19.

In an interview with Bulawayo based Pakistani businessman, Imran Shahzad who owns Bulk Commodities which trades as Cash and Carry denied paying $750 in protection fees to stop the planned seizure of his businesses by Zanu-PF officials after he demanded $35 000 he had lent to a ruling party youth leader.
Said Shahzad:
<blockquote>All the allegations they are making are lies and you must ask yourself why I am still here if I bribed them. I am a Zimbabwean just like you and I run the business according to the laws. I know where to go if someone tries to take my property. Do you think I can bribe someone with $750 for a business worth millions. This is a joke.</blockquote>

In a letter to government and the Bulawayo City Council, residents state that Clr Lubimbi repeatedly employed Khumbulani Phiri, Collen Phiri, Violet Phiri, Lifina Phiri, Paul Phiri, Charles Phiri, Darren Phiri, Farai Sibanda, (alleged boyfriend to Monica Lubimbi), Farai Sibanda’s son, Esnath Mlauzi, Lameck Mlauzi (husband to Esnath) and Dorcas Mlauzi (Lameck and Esnath’s daughter). When contacted by The Chronicle, Lubimbi said the matter was resolved and that there were no issues between her and the people she serves.
Town Clerk, Mr Christopher Dube, declined to comment although he confirmed he was aware of the matter. Bulawayo Mayor Martin Moyo yesterday told The Chronicle that he had received a report about the matter on Friday and investigations were underway.

Talkmore Maurukira who is facing criminal abuse of duty charges as a public officer charge was taken off remand after his colleagues refused to testify against him. He is accused of demanding $5 bribe from a motorist along Airport Road.
Harare magistrate Mr Arnold Maburo removed Maurukira from remand and ordered the State to proceed by way of summons when its witnesses are ready. The State alleges that Maurikira demanded $5 bribe from Brian Garikai who he has arrested for failing to service his fire extinguisher.
The police officer allegedly demanded Garikai’s driver’s licence and retained it in his possession before demanding for a bribein exchange of the licence. The following day Garikai reported the matter to PGHQ internal investigations and a trap was set. A team consisting of Murombedzi, Mwareya and Mudyamarimbe trapped Maurukira and arrested him after he received the $5 bribe.

Police officers refuse to testify against colleague accused of demanding bribe

Two <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Plumtree">Plumtree</a> <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Republic_Police">police officers</a> who were recorded on camera by a cross border transporter demanding and receiving a bribe from him at the Plumtree Border Post have each been sentenced to an effective 18 months in jail. They were each sentenced to 24 months in prison but six months were suspended on condition that they do not within the next five years commit a similar offence.
Fume Chibvuri (34) and Aaron Zivuku (28) yesterday pleaded not guilty to extortion when they appeared before Plumtree magistrate Mr Gideon Ruvetsa but were convicted due to overwhelming evidence.
The two cops, through their legal counsel, Mr Norman Mugiya of Mugiya and Macharaga Law Chambers, claimed that on the day in question, they were not stationed at the border complex.
They said Mr Gift Moyo, who recorded them demanding payment to grant him passage through the border in July last year, had fabricated a video of them and then circulated it on social media in a bid to tarnish their images.
The cops said Mr Moyo did that in retaliation after they had testified against him in a case of kidnapping.
