Mupfumira who is jointly charged with Barnabas Matongera who used to work for NSSA is facing charges of paying US$3,5 million to a local land developing company towards the construction of low-housing units in Gweru without due tender processes and without the board\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n

After she explained the reason why did not turn up for trial, Mupfumira was remanded out of custody to 5 May 2021 and her trial will start then. Mupfumira made headlines in 2019 after she was arrested and she spent 21 days in pretrial detention after it emerged she might have siphoned close to $90 million during her tenure as the labor minister.<\/p>\n
