Fraud charges politically motivated: Chimombe

ZANU PF central committee member and businessman Mike Chimombe yesterday told a Harare magistrate that he was being victimised by people with a political agenda after being implicated in a US$9,2 million tender scandal for installation of streetlights in the capital.

Chimombe and his co-accused Moses Mpofu pleaded not guilty during their bail application before Harare magistrate Stanford Mambanje.

Chimombe and Mpofu are being represented by Arshiel Mugiya.
