Vendor withdraws Moyo arrest bid

A HARARE vendor, who had approached the High Court seeking an order compelling the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) and the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) to arrest Higher Education minister Jonathan Moyo over corruption allegations, yesterday withdrew his application, saying it had been overtaken by events.

Hardlife Mudzingwa had also approached the court seeking an order for the Executive to distance itself from Moyo’s prosecution over allegations of misappropriating $450 000 from the Zimbabwe Manpower Development Fund.

However, after being invited to the Zacc offices last week where his statement was recorded, Moyo approached the Constitutional Court challenging the anti-graft body’s arresting powers.
