Harare Town Clerk arrested over US$9,2 million tender scandal

Accused of awarding lucrative tender to jailed businessman Moses Mpofu’s company

By Staff Reporter

Harare Town Clerk Hosiah Chisango has been arrested by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) charged with illegally awarding a US$9.2 million streetlighting tender to a company owned by jailed businessman Moses Mpofu.

The city’s top most executive faces criminal abuse of duty charges.

He is set to appear in court this Thursday.

Allegations are that Chisango connived with four other council officials who are already in custody and awarded the tender to Mpofu’s Juluka Enndo Joint Venture, without following due process.

Mpofu is also languishing in remand prison together with business partner Mike Chimombe over a botched goat supply tender deal awarded to the pair by government.
