Anti-graft watchdog addresses Mugabe-era probe

Zimbabwe's anti-graft watchdog has reportedly denied reports that it is targeting former First Lady Grace Mugabe's allies but it concedes that it is ‘following up on cases with proof provided to them’. The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) Investigative Committee chairperson, Godson Nguni, said the anti-graft watchdog was ‘following evidence and complaints from the public’. New Zimbabwe reports that Nguni said that in some cases the evidence was overwhelming against the alleged looters. The ZACC is investigating several of Grace Mugabe allies who included former Finance Minister Ignatius Chombo, the ex-Local Government Minister Saviour Kasukuwere, former Foreign Affairs Minister Walter Mzembi, Energy Minister Samuel Undenge and former Education Minister Jonathan Moyo. It also emerged that the watchdog is probing the former First Lady’s sons over alleged gold trading.
