Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>A South African company awarded a tender to print the ballot papers for Namibia\u2019s November elections has been embroiled in a N$570-million scandal in Zimbabwe.<\/b><\/p>\n

This week, the Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) announced on social media that the Johannesburg printing firm, Ren-Form CC, was selected to print the ballot papers.This as the company and its agent, a larger-than-life tenderpreneur, are being investigated by Zimbabwe\u2019s anti-corruption authority.<\/p>\n

A report published earlier this year by the Daily Maverick revealed that the Johannesburg printing firm Ren-Form CC and its agent are being investigated by Zimbabwe\u2019s anti-corruption authority for price gouging on election-related material and equipment.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe is no stranger to corruption. But the brazen nature of the R570-million scandal engulfing the Zimbabwean Electoral Commission (ZEC) has outraged the country.<\/p>\n

In one instance, Ren-Form invoiced the ZEC R23 million for a server that normally costs just R90 000.<\/p>\n

Leaked documents suggest the printing firm inflated the price of ballot papers, biometric voter registration kits and portable toilets, while its politically connected partner, Wicknell Chivayo, made payments to mystery officials.<\/p>\n

\u2018Sir Wicknell\u2019<\/p>\n

Chivayo dubs himself \u2018Sir Wicknell\u2019 on social media, frequently posting pictures of himself with president Emmerson Mnangagwa or posing in front of large piles of cash. While he has nine businesses in South Africa and had a brush with the law in 2011, Chivayo has largely flown under the radar in South Africa.<\/p>\n

In Zimbabwe, however, he is notorious for his past conviction for money laundering.<\/p>\n

Chivayo acted as agent for Ren-Form, a family-owned commercial printing company based in Selby, central Johannesburg. In the tender with the ZEC, Ren-Form branched out from just providing ballot papers into acting as a one-stop shop providing electronic equipment, hi-vis vests and gadgets to display voting results.<\/p>\n

Chivayo\u2019s former business partners, Mike Chimombe and Moses Mpofu, who felt cut out of the deal, accuse Ren-Form and Chivayo of inflating costs by up to 235%. ZEC paid the South African printing company at least R570 million.<\/p>\n

The NewsHawks, the Zimbabwean media outlet which broke the story, claims that the total paid to Ren-Form could be up to R1.8-billion.<\/p>\n

Chimombe and Mpofu\u2019s claim is partly supported by leaked documents which show Ren-Form invoiced the ZEC R23 million for a central server that costs R90 000 online, and 2 000 non-flushing toilets priced at R68 700 each, which retail for about R10 000 per unit.<\/p>\n

Ren-Form also provided the ZEC with biometric voter registration (BVR) kits. In the original quote, Ren-Form quoted US$5 000 per kit. Yet the BVR kits tripled in price to nearly US$16 000 by the time of the final invoice just a few weeks later. Similar BVR kits cost US$3 600 per unit when bought by the United Nations Development Programme for the 2021 elections in Honduras.<\/p>\n

The quality and price of the individual components, such as a fingerprint scanner, in a particular BVR \u2018suitcase\u2019 can change. Someone familiar with this specific ZEC tender claimed that the hardware did not change in this case, but could not rule out software costs changing between Ren-Form\u2019s first quote to the final invoiced amount.<\/p>\n

We asked Ren-Form to explain. The company\u2019s sales director, Jean-Pierre du Sart, labelled all the allegations false.\u201cIn any project there\u2019s changes,\u201d when asked the reason for the price increases. While Ren-Form did not dispute the authenticity of the invoices and other financial records, Chivayo says the leaked documents are fakes.<\/p>\n

The jilted business partners, Chimombe and Mpofu, claim that as soon as Zimbabwe paid Ren-Form, the printer transferred much of the funds to one of Chivayo\u2019s South African companies, Intratrek. When asked if Ren-Form paid Chivayo, Du Sart said, \u201che\u2019s one of our agents over there, so there\u2019s nothing wrong with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa\u2019s \u2018son\u2019?<\/p>\n

Chivayo has gone viral on Zimbabwean social media after seemingly genuine audio clips circulated in which he discusses sharing the proceeds of the ZEC tender with his partners and senior officials, referred to by their initials or codenames. In one voice note, Chivayo claims Mnangagwa calls him \u201cmy son\u201d, prompting the president\u2019s spokesperson to condemn \u201cname-dropping\u201d.<\/p>\n

Chivayo has denied that it was his voice on the clips and apologised to Mnangagwa, spy boss Isaac Moyo and ZEC chair Justice Priscilla Chigumba for creating the \u201cadverse impression\u201d that their institutions \u201care involved in corruption or participate in illicit transactions\u201d.<\/p>\n

It is possible some of Chivayo\u2019s generosity in handing out luxury cars was financed from the ZEC tender. In May 2023, just a month after the Zimbabwean finance ministry instructed the central bank to pay Ren-Form for the BVR kits, Chivayo had two white Rolls-Royce cars flown into Harare from Europe, and a luxury Mercedes and Range Rover delivered from South Africa.<\/p>\n

Investigations and denials<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission has since opened an investigation and is seeking to interview Chivayo. Chimombe and Mpofu have been arrested as part of a separate investigation into the alleged failure to deliver on a contract for the presidential goat scheme, in which animals were supposed to be provided to poorer rural households.<\/p>\n

Ren-Form denies any wrongdoing, including inflating prices to pay bribes, and said it is unable to provide specific details about the tender due to confidentiality clauses in its contract with the ZEC. The printing firm declined to provide further responses, citing ongoing investigations by law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n

Chivayo did not respond to a request for comment. Previously, Chivayo described the leaked voice notes and messages as fakes, and said he was under a sustained character attack from Chimombe and Mpofu, whom he described as \u201cbriefcase businessmen\u201d.<\/p>\n

The ZEC denied doing business directly with Chivayo, Chimombe or Mpofu, and said all procurement was above board. \u2013 The original article was first published in the Daily Maverick<\/p>\n
