19 ‘bogus’ lawyers face deregistration

THE Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) has unmasked a scam in which Council for Legal Foundation executive secretary Huggins Hardwork Duri was allegedly issuing certificates of competency to law students studying in foreign universities.

The scam was unearthed after Zacc received information from a person who was supposed to write a conversion examination.

Duri (40) yesterday appeared before Harare magistrate Stanford Mambanje charged with criminal abuse of office and was granted US$500 bail.
