Former Zimbabwe National Roads Administration (ZINARA) chief executive officer Saston Muzenda (48) has been jailed for 36 months for corruption, reported <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/former-zinara-boss-jailed-for-corruption/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>.
Muzenda was charged with criminal abuse of office as a public officer and was convicted after a full trial.
However, six months of his sentence was suspended on condition he doesn’t commit a similar offence in the next five years.
He will, therefore, serve an effective 30 months.
Muzenda was found guilty of unlawfully awarding a tender to an undeserving security company, at the expense of two other firms, which had been awarded the job.
He allowed Ex-Combatants Security company to provide services to ZINARA when the ZINARA board had resolved to give the job to Morden Security and Real Star Security.
Allegations were that in June 2019, Modern Security and Real Star Security were awarded tenders to provide services at ZINARA’s Northern and Southern regions from September 1 of the same year.
Ex-Combatants and National Eye Security’s contracts were expected to end on August 31, 2019, before Modern Security and Real Star Security took over.
Muzenda, who was acting ZINARA CEO, had already allowed Ex-Combatants Security to add security guards in areas that were manned by National Eye Security. Prosecutors said:
<blockquote>
The accused person went on to write a letter to the Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (PRAZ) seeking the extension of the contract for a further 12 months.
</blockquote>
PRAZ asked Muzenda for the contracts and he responded by saying he had already extended Ex-Combatants Security’s contract by 12 months. Appearing for the State:
<blockquote>
This was unlawful and unexpected of the accused person who held public office at the time.
ZINARA had to make payments amounting to ZWD300 948 to Ex- Combatants Security after receiving a letter from PRAZ instructing them to terminate their contract with the security company.
</blockquote>
During the trial, Muzenda denied the charges. He argued that the security companies were already involved in contractual disputes when he assumed the position of CEO at ZINARA.

Former ZINARA CEO Jailed 36 Months For Corruption

The Clerk of Parliament, Kennedy Chokuda and the director of procurement, Stanley Bhebhe, appeared in court on Thursday charged with two counts of Criminal Abuse of Duty as a Public Officer as defined in section 174 of the Criminal Law [Codification and Reform] Act Chapter 9:23.
The two men appeared before Harare regional magistrate Vongai Guwuriro, who granted them $100 000 bail each, reported <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/clerk-of-parliament-granted-bail-in-messy-computers-deal/">H-Metro</a>.
She ordered them not to interfere with State witnesses.
The court heard that on 17 June 2022, the Parliament of Zimbabwe flighted an advert inviting interested bidders for the supply and delivery of 173 laptops and 79 desktops.
Ninety-two (92) companies showed interest, and the number was reduced to 30 after some were disqualified for different reasons.
On 29 October 2022, Mid-End Computers was notified by Parliament that it had been awarded the contract to supply 79 desktops at US$3 076 each for a total of US$243 052 payable at the interbank rate.
Treasury, however, refused to release the payment citing the extortionate prices.
The court further heard that on 16 September, Bhebhe originated a letter, on the instructions of Chokuda, to the Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (PRAZ) asking for authority to negotiate a price reduction.
Bhebhe in turn instructed Rudo Doka, the director of external relations, to append her signature on Chokuda’s behalf, as he was away.
But PRAZ replied and advised Parliament that negotiating a price reduction was against Section 52 of the Procurement Act which prohibits negotiations between procuring entities and bidders.
Prosecutors said the two asked for authority from PRAZ although they had already negotiated for a price reduction with Noah Sakudye, the director of Mid-End Computers on 7 September.
An agreement was reached and the price was reduced from US$243 000 to US$180 000 for the supply and delivery of 79 desktops.
It was alleged that the meeting was chaired by Parliament’s chief director of finance, Bernard Zvamada.
They allegedly submitted an unsigned Standard Bidding Document which would ordinarily be signed by Chokuda as the accounting officer.
Prosecutors said Chokuda should have cancelled the tender and re-tendered.
On the second count, Chokuda and Bhebhe unlawfully negotiated a tender that was issued to Blinart Investments.
The duo allegedly negotiated with Elizabeth Muchenje, the director of Blinart Investments Pvt Ltd, on 9 September.
An agreement was reached on the same day to reduce the price of a single laptop from US$9 264 to US$7 985.

National Social Security Authority (NSSA) acting general manager Charles Shava, who was arrested on Thursday on a criminal abuse of office charge, has been granted bail by the Harare Magistrates Court, reported <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200008278/nssa-boss-gets-500-000-bail">NewsDay</a>.
Shava, who was being represented by Musindo Hungwe, was granted $500 000 bail when he appeared before Harare magistrate Stanford Mambanje on Friday.
Shava allegedly altered a board resolution that had rejected the proposed allowances for four NSSA doctors.
It is alleged that Shava caused the human resources manager to pay the allowances without approval, claiming the board had approved the allowances.

NSSA Boss Charles Shava Granted $500 000 Bail

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

The ZESA Holdings Southern Region manager King Dube was last week arrested by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) on allegations of using one of the power utility’s employees as his domestic worker.
As a result, ZESA was prejudiced of US$17 568 which Andrew Homa, who was employed by the power utility, received from the company in salaries although he was working at Dube’s private home.
Dube was suspended on allegations of engaging in underhand dealings together with eight other senior ZESA officials from the region.
He appeared before Gweru magistrate Edwin Marecha on Wednesday facing criminal abuse of office charges.
Dube was remanded to March 29 on $20 000 bail and ordered to surrender his passport.
He was also ordered to reside at the given address, report three times a week at Gweru Central Police Station and to not interfere with investigations.
The State alleged that that from January 2013 to the end of February 2017, Dube ordered Homa, a ZESA employee, to work as a domestic worker at his residence in Gweru.
Homa was on the electricity utility’s payroll and Dube assigned him to do domestic duties at his home.

Manager Uses ZESA Employee As Domestic Worker For 4 Years

Former Harare mayor Hebert Gomba has been remanded in custody following his arrest Friday by officials from the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC).
Gomba was arrested on fresh allegations of corruption after he allegedly expropriated vacant land in Milton Park.
He was not asked to plead when he appeared before Harare Magistrate Stanford Mambanje Saturday.
The magistrate remanded Gomba in custody to Monday next week for his bail hearing.
The MDC Alliance official was initially arrested in July last year on allegations of criminal abuse of office.
He was accused of illegally selling the City of Harare residential stands.
On the latest charge, Gomba is accused of illegally creating commercial stands inside Old Hararians Sports Club open space in Milton Park.
Gomba is alleged to have connived with Wellington Mutambirwa, a City of Harare evaluation executive to cause the creation of commercial stands at the open space at the Old Hararians Sports Club.
It is further alleged that the stands were for a proposed crèche, medical centre, recreational facilities, market place and fuel service station.
Gomba was reportedly among several senior council officials working in his office who were set to benefit from the stands scam.
The crimes were reportedly committed during the period extending from 2018 to 2020 when Gomba was the Harare mayor and Glen Norah councillor.

Gomba Remanded In Custody For Grabbing Sports Club Land

Harare mayor Jacob Mafume was arrested again on Monday after he allegedly tried to bribe Special Anti Corruption Unit (SACU) officers working on his abuse of office case.
Mafume’s party, the MDC Alliance confirmed the arrest but said the Harare mayor was arrested at Strathaven Shopping Centre after he responded to a greeting from someone he knows. The party said in a statement:
<blockquote>It is alleged he interfered with a witness. He denies this. After his remand hearing, he went to Strathaven Shopping Centre where he was greeted by a woman he knows.
He greeted her back then plainclothes police arrested him. Nobody was bribed as suggested by [the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Nick Mangwana].</blockquote>
Mafume was released from remand prison last week on ZWL$30 000 bail following his arrest on 25 November 2020.
He had been arrested on allegations of illegally parcelling out residential stands to his sister Rotina Mafume and secretary at his law firm Rutendo Muvuti without following due process.
In granting Mafume bail, High Court Judge Justice Benjamin Chikowero ordered him not to interfere with witnesses, to surrender his passport and to continue residing at his given residential address as part of his bail conditions.

Harare Mayor Jacob Mafume Rearrested

Harare magistrate Bianca Makwande has postponed to Saturday (tomorrow) the bail ruling for Harare mayor Jacob Mafume who was arrested on Wednesday on criminal abuse of office charges.
Mafume allegedly forced Harare City Council officials to parcel out some stands in Harare’s Westlea suburb to his sister and colleague.
The State opposed bail on the grounds that Mafume will likely interfere with witnesses and could also abscond.
Through his lawyer Tonderai Bhatasara, Mafume said there was no way he could interfere with investigations because he is not a Council employee. Said Bhatasara:
<blockquote>As an officer of this court, the accused is aware of the dire consequences of breaching bail.
He is a legal practitioner for 20 years; he is married with two kids. He has a car and immovable property being a residential stand in Mt Pleasant.
He is a mayor of Harare and earns about $6 000 from this job. He generates $100 000 a month from his practice as a lawyer.</blockquote>
Mafume is denying the charges. He said if he had indeed committed the offences, then the witnesses would be accomplices because they are the ones who have powers to parcel out stands.

Mafume To Spend Third Night In Prison

A Gweru magistrate on Thursday sentenced a top police detective to an effective two years in jail on criminal abuse of office charges.
Gweru regional magistrate Phathekile Msipa initially sentenced former officer-in-charge of Gweru CID, Detective inspector, Leonard Gwandu, to three years before suspending one year on condition of good behaviour.
According to prosecutor Namatirai Chipere, on December 14 last year, Gwandu released a Toyota Hilux truck, which had been confiscated from local businessman Shepherd Tundiya without following procedures.
The car was being kept as an exhibit and should eventually be handed over to the South African police.
Tundiya was arrested in connection with the stolen vehicle that he had bought and had been acquitted.
However, there was no order to release the car in question.

Top Police Detective Gets 2-year Jail Term

Former State House principal director, Douglas Tapfuma, has fingered senior government and Zanu PF officials in underhand dealings involving the abuse of the free-duty vehicle scheme to import personal vehicles.
Tapfuma, an ally of President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Emmerson_Mnangagwa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Emmerson Mnangagwa</a>, is facing criminal abuse of office charge after he allegedly bought five personal vehicles using the official facility.
He revealed that Youth deputy minister Tinoda Machakaire, who runs TinMac, a logistics company, is one of the party functionaries who also abused the facility, and that several senior officials that he could not name also used the duty-free facility.
In his testimony before the court on Monday, Tapfuma declared that he was not the first official to use the facility. He said:
<blockquote>Everyone in government and Zanu PF has been doing it.
… It is a system that has been in existence for long to import personal vehicles through the Office of the President and Cabinet under the vehicles duty-free facility.
TinMac Company has done exactly what I am accused of and using the same documents that I used. Mupereri also used the same documents. These kinds of transactions have been in existence for a long time.</blockquote>
Tapfuma asserted that the allegations against him were malicious, and he accused Deputy Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet Ray Ndhlukula of wanting to second his own people to the position that he held.

Former State House Official Exposes High-level Corruption

A former <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/ZINARA">ZINARA</a> boss who was being investigated for corruption was arrested and hailed <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/zacc-arrests-ex-zinara-ceo-over-us20m-corruption-scandal/">before the court facing 6 counts of criminal abuse of office </a>charges.  Mr Frank Chitukutuku allegedly awarded road rehabilitation contracts worth a whopping US$20 million to an alleged colleague without following legal processes.
The matter came to light through court papers that allege that Chitukutuku was corruptly working with a former ZINARA technical director:
<blockquote>The accused, in connivance with former Zinara technical director Moses Julius Juma, corruptly imposed the awarding of contracts for rehabilitation of road works for Rural Districts Councils without following procurement procedures.
The accused acted contrary to his duties as a public officer for the purpose of showing favour to Fremus Enterprises (Pvt) Ltd, a company owned by his ZAOGA church associate, Freddy Chimbari.</blockquote>
Chitukukutu last week changed his last name to Mandlamakhulu together with his family and 2 other people. The state used the name change as their reason to remand Chitukutuku in custody till Tuesday to verify why he had suddenly changed his name.

Former ZINARA CEO Being Investigated For Corruption Arrested After He Changed His Name

Former Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) board Chairman, Albert Mugabe appeared before a Harare magistrate on Monday facing criminal abuse of office charges.
Mugabe was released on $500 bail by Harare magistrate Vongai Guuriro Muchuchuti. He is being represented by Admire Rubaya and the matter was remanded to April 11. Mugabe allegedly faked a letter of undertaking to CBZ bank advising that the ZINARA board had agreed to set off a $300 000 mortgage loan for the Chief Executive officer.
On March 30, 2017, ZINARA Human Resources Committee deliberated through a round robin resolution the acquisition of a mortgage loan from CBZ bank for ZINARA Chief Executive Officer Nancy Chamisa Masiyiwa. The six member Human Resources Committee unanimously resolved to recommend to ZINARA Board for approval to secure a mortgage loan scheme not exceeding $300 000 with CBZ Bank. On April 5, 2017, Mugabe wrote a letter of undertaking for mortgage loan in respect of Masiyiwa to CBZ bank advising that ZINARA board had authorised Masiyiwa to enter into a housing loan scheme with the bank. He said ZINARA undertook to pay off the mortgage facility if Masiyiwa’s contract was to expire with the mortgage loan still existing. The ZINARA Board had not approved the loan facility.

A previous version of this story said that POTRAZ Director-General Gift Machengete failed to attend court because he was away at a business conference in Victoria Falls. Pindula has since been contacted by a source close to the matter who has advised that Machengete attended court but the trial did not take place. He was given another date in March by the magistrate.
Pindula News sincerely apologises for the error.
Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (POTRAZ) Director-General Gift Machengete’s trial was yesterday postponed to the 18th and 19th of March at the magistrate’s court.
Machengete is being charged with criminal abuse of office. Machengete allegedly engaged a local company to construct Container Village Information Centers (CVICs) valued at $1 494 104 without going to tender.

UPDATED: Potraz Boss's Criminal Abuse Of Office Court Case Postponed

Former NetOne CEO Reward Kangai appeared before Harare magistrate Ms Rumbidzai Mugwagwa facing 21 counts of criminal abuse of office charges. Kangai is being accused of hand-picking his relatives and close associates for contracts to erect the company’s base stations before paying them rentals in advance.
He was remanded to January 31 on $800 bail and was ordered to surrender his passport, report to the police once a week and not to interfere with witnesses. His lawyer Mr Nyasha Munetsi said there were no reasonable grounds for Kangai’s arrest arguing that the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) had not carried out proper investigations.
It is the State’s case that Kangai showed favour to Bopela Family Trust by authorising the advance rental payment of $10 500, which covered a period of 21 months. Richwood Sports Club was paid $33 000, which covered a period of five years, while Avondale Christian Church was paid $27 000, which covered three years. It is alleged that house No. 514 Chipembere Road, Windsor Park in Ruwa, Harare was paid $5 400 when NetOne has no provision for advance rental payments.

Supa Mandiwanzira's Accuser Reward Kangai Freed On $800 Bail

Suspended Prosecutor-General (PG) <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Johannes_Tomana">Johannes Tomana</a>, who is facing six charges of criminal abuse of office, is now set to be tried at the High Court. Tomana’s trial was supposed to kick off on August 29 this year, but was postponed to October 4 after the State notified the court that it had not furnished the defence with relevant court papers in time for Tomana to prepare his defence.
Following the new developments, Tomana abandoned his application for refusal of further remand and consented to the postponement. Tomana’s reporting conditions were scrapped after his lawyer, Tazorora Musarurwa, made an application before magistrate Vakai Chikwekwe.
Allegations against Tomana stem from 2004, when the then chief executive of the <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_United_Passenger_Company">Zimbabwe United Passenger Company</a> (Zupco), Bright Matonga, was charged with culpable homicide arising from an accident which claimed the life of a pedestrian, Chipo Chikowore. It is alleged Tomana ordered the State to withdraw the charges against Matonga.
