adminMinisters under probe for corruption
Harare Bureau
The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission is investigating several Cabinet ministers for corruption, ZACC chairman Mr Denford Chirindo has said.
He said all found in breach would face the full wrath of the law.
Speaking after the launch of ZACC website in Harare yesterday, Mr Chirindo said no one was “untouchable”.
He said ZAAC was investigating corruption allegations against several people who include Cabinet Ministers and Members of Parliament.
Mr Chirindo, however, refused to name some of the ‘bigwigs’ under investigation.
“We are not targeting only the small fish as some people may think,” he said.
“There are no sacred cows and all the reports that we have received including those of several ministers, senior Government officials and MPs are under investigation.” he said.
Bogus estate agents on the prowl
Pamela Shumba
BOGUS estate agents are on the prowl in Bulawayo with scores of people having been swindled of their hard earned cash.
Some of the victims who spoke to Chronicle this week said they were made to pay $150 to bogus housing agents who were advertising non-existent accommodation in the Press and at strategic areas around the city especially busy supermarkets.
Some of the home seekers said they discovered that they had been duped of their hard earned money after depositing $150 each in one Swaniso Ncube’s Kingdom Bank account.
Ncube, who has since been reported to the police for making more than one person pay for an apartment at Northlyne Court at the corner of Herbert Chitepo Street and First Avenue, is reportedly from Gweru.

MDC-T suspends provincial leaders
Prosper Ndlovu
THE MDC-T structures in Matabeleland North have been torn apart with the party suspending some provincial leaders as in-fighting escalates.
MDC-T deputy president Ms Thokozani Khupe has been implicated in the suspensions, which party supporters fear would further weaken the Western sponsored party ahead of the forthcoming elections.
The divisions come at a time Zanu-PF has made inroads into the constituencies controlled by the MDC-T under a mobilisation campaign led by Politburo member Dr Obert Mpofu.
The MDC-T has since dispatched a panel of officials from Harvest House led by Mbizo Member of Parliament Mr Settlement Chikwinya, which on Saturday reportedly suspended the provincial organising secretary, Mr Thembinkosi Sibindi and the deputy provincial secretary Ms Angeline Kheswa.
