Mnangagwa targets high-profile graft cases

JUSTICE minister Ziyambi Ziyambi has revealed that President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s move to set up a special anti-corruption unit in his office came after realising that other State security agencies were reluctant to tackle high-profile graft cases.

On Tuesday, the Office of the President and Cabinet announced the establishment of the unit whose mandate is to tackle unresolved cases which have silently succumbed to vainness with no tangible prosecution or resolve.

The move attracted scorn from various sections of society, with some rubbishing it as an unconstitutional duplication of duties being carried out by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) and the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP).
