Mnangagwa named in Zesa scam

A STATE witness yesterday dropped President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s name in former Energy minister Samuel Undenge’s criminal abuse of office trial, claiming that his office had allegedly given a directive to the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) to disregard public tender procedures by awarding a public relations contract to Fruitful Communications.

At the time, Mnangagwa was still the country’s Vice-President. ZPC is a subsidiary of Zesa Holdings.
