Gokwe whistleblowers under siege

WHISTLEBLOWERS, who unmasked corrupt activities at Gokwe Town Council, are under siege from suspended officials and accomplices who are still in the local authority who have roped in State security agents to intimidate them.

Gokwe ward 1 councillor Davies Taruvinga (Zanu PF), who is a witness in the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc)-investigated case was picked by Gokwe Criminal Investigations Department at the weekend and interviewed on trumped-up charges.

However, former MDC councillor Vengesai Chipfuko — also a Zacc witness in the allegations against suspended town secretary Melania Mandeya and finance director Jockonia Nyoni — was not summoned by the police.
