Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Gokwe Residents Association (GRA) has objected to the appointment of Alexander Nyandoro as acting town secretary.<\/p>\n

Nyandoro, who was the local authority\u2019s chief administrator, replaced Joseph Mandlokuwa who acted in the same capacity last year.<\/p>\n

His appointment was with effect from November 11. But the GRA questioned the appointment citing previous cases of corruption involving Nyandoro. GRA Nephias Mhangami said:<\/p>\n

In his initial suspension, the council stated that he was involved in an act of dishonest, negligent performance in terms of the Urban Council Act.<\/p>\n

What then boggles our mind as an association is how he came back and his subsequent appointment as the acting town secretary.<\/p>\n

He came back to work under unclear circumstances<\/p>\n

Nyandoro was once accused of forging council documents to purchase a Toyota D4D pick-up in 2012 resulting in his suspension.<\/p>\n
