Midlands Provincial Director Tariro Ndhlovu has been arrested by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission on allegations of abuse of duty.
Ndhlovu is said to have arrested because of a controversial ruling he made over a mine in Mberengwa.
ZACC confirmed Ndlovu’s arrest on its social media platform Twitter, Ndhlovu will appear in court today.
“ZACC confirms the arrest of Midlands Provincial Mining Director Tariro Ndhlovu male aged 53 for contravening section 174 of the Criminal Law Codification and Reform Act(abuse of duty).
“In 2014 Ndhlovu presided over a gold mining dispute involving 2 parties and ruled in favour of another party. The Complainant appealed to the Minister of Mines who reversed the Accused’s ruling.
“The Minister’s ruling was further upheld in 2015 by the High Court which ordered the reinforcement of the complainant’s mining rights. Instead of enforcing the court orders the accused did not comply, but went on to write letters showing favour to the party whom he had earlier on awarded.
“It is suspected that Ndhlovu was conniving with the Ministry’s Lawyer,” said ZACC.
