Bulawayo Deputy Mayor Clr Edwin Ndlovu and the councillor for ward 26, Clr Mpumelelo Moyo, have been arrested by the Zimbabwe Anti Corruption Commission for allegedly demanding a bribe from an investor who wanted to set up a cement manufacturing plant in the city.
Zacc Communication and Media Liaison Manager Simiso Mlevu confirmed the arrest.
“They demanded US$20 000 bribe from Labenmon Investments for allegedly facilitating approval of an application for land for a cement mixing plant,” she said.
The duo is expected to appear in court soon.
