ED targets Chamisa-led councils

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has threatened to unleash the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) to sniff out corrupt elements in all councils led by Nelson Chamisa’s MDC Alliance.
But critics said the clampdown was targeted at Chamisa, who has refused to recognise Mnangagwa’s presidency since the July 2018 disputed poll.

Mnangagwa on Friday told the central committee of his ruling Zanu PF party that he would soon order “a clean-up” of all corrupt elements in the MDC Alliance-dominated local authorities.
