The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) has taken into custody Ernest Shenje, the Deputy Director of the Road Services Division in the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development, in connection with a suspected fraudulent scheme exceeding US$1 million linked to the Mbudzi roundabout traffic interchange.
Fraudulent Scheme Details:
According to ZACC's statement, Shenje and his alleged co-conspirators fabricated a false sales agreement, claiming that Levy Idana was the rightful owner of Subdivision A of Subdivision B of Delft of Hopely, a property registered in the name of John Maloney.

This deceitful agreement was employed to seek compensation, falsely representing that Idana had purchased the property from John Maloney. The accused individuals purportedly colluded with other ministry officials to advance the processing of this fraudulent claim, resulting in a payment of US$200,000 to Idana based on these deceptive pretenses.
Legal Proceedings:
Ernest Shenje is set to appear before the Harare Magistrates’ Court today, as the investigation and legal processes continue to unfold.
The purported incidents of corruption underscore the far-reaching consequences of malfeasance within government institutions, particularly with respect to public infrastructure projects.
