The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) has seized property worth over $700 million, the Commission’s chairperson, Justice Loice Matanda-Moyo, has said.

The anti-corruption body has also filed 18 unexplained wealth order case files with the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).

Speaking at the commemoration of the International Anti-Corruption Day in Harare on Thursday, Justice Matanda-Moyo said ZACC was on course in its mission to eradicate corruption in the country.

“It is with great pride that I pronounce that Zimbabwe has made great strides in ensuring maximum cooperation is given to state parties during Mutual Legal Assistance Requests.

“The fight against corruption is real and it takes tireless efforts and undivided dedication for us to totally weed out corruption,” she said.

Justice Matanda-Moyo said ZACC would be launching Corruption Reporting Awards next year.

“These awards seek to honour journalists who bring issues of corruption to light through brave reporting. The role of journalists in the fight against corruption can never be emphasized,” she said.
