Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>By Mary Taruvinga<\/b> – HARARE Town Clerk, Hosea Chisango, arrested Thursday on criminal abuse of office charges, has been freed on $50 000 bail by magistrate Ngoni Nduna.<\/p>\n

He is accused of giving directives that all officials should stop reporting to the chamber secretary but to him directly.<\/p>\n

Nduna ruled that the city boss should not be seen within 100 meters of council offices, report at Rhodesville police station every last Wednesday of the month.<\/p>\n

The State alleges that on December 24, 2020, Chisango unlawfully directed the Public Safety Division through a memorandum to stop reporting to the chamber secretary but to report to him instead.<\/p>\n

The directive was supposed to have been issued out after consultations by council authorities.<\/p>\n

The State alleges Chisango designed the new reporting structure so that he gets direct control of that department which was behind the investigation on shoddy land deals within council.<\/p>\n

He later issued out another verbal directive to the staff members in the Public Safety Division to \u2018stress\u2019 his directive.<\/p>\n

On January 13, 2021, Tarisai Chiendambuya, a chief superintendent and head of investigations department was served with a suspension letter by Geoffrey Manyere, acting chief security officer.<\/p>\n

Manyere had been appointed to that post by Chisango when incumbent Collen Tongowona was there.<\/p>\n

It is alleged Chisango made those decisions to frustrate ongoing police investigations on illegal land deals at the City of Harare.<\/p>\n

Chisango has another pending criminal abuse of office case within the courts.<\/p>\n
