THE Zimbabwe Anti Corruption Commission (ZACC) chairperson Michael Reza has assured the nation that they have enough evidence against controversial businessmen Wicknell Chivayo, Mike Chimombe and Moses Mpofu.
The three were summoned by ZACC yesterday over leaked audios and a document which relates to money laundering and a shady US$40 million election deal.
Speaking to journalists Monday, Reza said ZACC investigators were now waiting for the three to come for questioning.
“The businessmen have not yet presented themselves for questioning and if they delay we will go for them,” Reza said.
The ZACC chairperson also said the information that is now available allows for them to carry out investigations unlike when the first audio came out.
“When the first audio was leaked, there was not much for us as ZACC to go by but when the document was subsequently circulated and an audio came out, there was now substance from which we could commit investigations.
“Our investigators are in the process of checking what we have found so far. We have now called these three gentlemen.
“I want Zimbabwe to know that we have not been sitting on this, we have collected certain information which we will use to go to court. You will see detailed information with figures and numbers,” he said.
He also added that there are no sacred cows and ZACC will take action.
“Mark my words, what I can assure you is on the day that information leaked , we looked around and could not find much but subsequently when the second document and audio leaked, my investigators will share that information with Zimbabwe so that you know as ZACC we are not toothless.”
In recent months, Chivayo has been distributing luxury vehicles to Zanu PF-aligned musicians, social media influencers known as Varakashi, and members of his apostolic church, among others. Unconfirmed reports suggest he has spent nearly US$5 million on cars alone.
Additionally, he has reportedly purchased a US$7 million property in one of Harare’s affluent suburbs using proceeds from government tenders, including the failed Gwanda Solar Plant project.
