We are also targeting a Mt Pleasant mansion, which is currently under construction,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Mt Pleasant house could simply be one of the best houses in the suburb, but we believe the money came from proceeds from HCC corrupt activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Jacob Mafume could neither deny nor confirm the developments, saying he is not in a position to comment on such matters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I heard about that, but I don\u2019t want to comment on such matters. [Zacc] can comment on that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Zacc communications manager Simiso Mlevu said: \u201cThe case pertaining to the town clerk is already before the courts, therefore, sub judice so we don\u2019t want to comment on the matter at the moment. The courts have the final say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chisango will return to court on August 22 pending finalisation of investigations.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutor Anesu Chirenje alleged that Chisango connived with four other officials, who are already in remand prison and awarded a streetlights tender worth over US$9,2 million to Juluka Endo, a company co-owned by Mpofu, without following procedure.<\/p>\n<p>Juluka Endo was blacklisted after its sister company, Synlak (Pvt) Ltd, in 2019 was awarded a tender for a biogas digester and failed to deliver.<\/p>\n<p>This was contrary to the standard bidding conditions, which provide that bidders who have a bad record in fulfilling City of Harare tenders are ineligible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Zimbabwe Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
