Two flamboyant businessmen, Moses Mpofu and Mike Chimombe, are to spend a night in prison cells after being remanded in custody following their court appearance on fraud charges.
Mpofu, aged 49, is the Managing Director of Blackdeck Water Limited, and his co-accused, Chimombe, 43, were in court today after the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission called them for questioning early Wednesday morning.
On September 3, 2021, the Ministry of Lands issued a tender for the supply and delivery of goats for the Presidential Goat Pass-on Scheme, with a closing date of September 17, 2021. They allegedly forged a ZIMRA Tax clearance certificate and an NSSA compliance certificate, misrepresenting that Blackdeck was in full compliance with ZIMRA and NSSA laws.
Believing the forged documents to be genuine, the Ministry of Lands awarded the contract to Blackdeck on November 3, 2021. On November 16, 2021, the Ministry entered into a contract with Blackdeck for the supply of 632,001 goats, valued at US$87,757,168.00.There was a problem processing your submission.
