ZMDC slams Kurotwi arrest

ZIMBABWE Mining Development Corporation (ZMDC) board member Fred Moyo yesterday told High Court judge Justice Chinembiri Bhunu that the arrest of Core Mining director Lovemore Kurotwi and former ZMDC chief executive Dominic Mubaiwa on fraud allegations was not sanctioned by the parastatal’s board.

Moyo said he was not aware as to why Kurotwi was arrested in his individual capacity when his firm failed to meet its obligations such as equity contributions according to the ZMDC board’s assessment.

Asked by Kurotwi’s lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa if Kurotwi was informed of ZMDC’s concerns prior to his arrest, Moyo said he would not know whether the issues were raised with him.
