ED top aide battles for freedom
Blessed Mhlanga ·
PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa’s top aid Douglas Tapfuma, who briefly served as Director of State Residences, is battling for freedom and will on Tuesday approach the High Court seeking to be released on bail.
Tapfuma, arrested by Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) on allegations of corruption for allegedly using his office to import over 100 cars duty free under the pretext that they belonged to the Office of the President, was denied bail on Thursday last week.
His lawyer Valentine Mutatu has since written to the Magistrates’ Court seeking access to a typed transcript of the court proceedings for use in the High Court application.
