Mujuru ally in tender scam

FORMER Energy minister Dzikamai Mavhaire, a top ally of former Vice-President Joice Mujuru, has been fingered in the flouting of Zesa tender rules during his tenure where in three instances he allegedly awarded multi-million-dollar contracts without following laid-down procedures.

This came out yesterday when Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) management and members of the State Procurement Board (SPB) appeared before the Daniel Shumba-led Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Mines and Energy to give oral evidence.

Secretary for Energy Patson Mbiriri was also implicated in the alleged scam.
