Harare – Former Zanu-PF spin doctor, Professor Jonathan Moyo who has been fingered as the kingpin in looting Zimdef funds – but has enjoyed executive protection – has a case to answer, law experts have revealed.
Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission insists that the tertiary education minister diverted $400 000 for personal use – however he insisted he used the funds to fund party functions.ZACC says the looted funds were diverted to purchase cars, furniture and other unrelated business ventures – and none was sent to the ruling party.

“We have all the statements from Zimdef, from Fuzzy Technologies, a company owned by Dr Gandawa. No money from Zimdef benefited any political party. It is a lie. All monies that have been paid out have been traced to the personal benefit of Prof Moyo, Dr Gandawa, Mr Honzeri and Mr Mapute.
“No money was paid to any political party or to the benefit of any political party. The beneficiaries of all these monies that we would want to charge people for, are those people that I have mentioned,” said Commissioner Nguni.
Among the beneficiaries were journalists from state and private media. In his defence, Moyo has waved the tribalism card – while factionalism has dissected the liberation party into two patent, warring forces.
A legal mind interviewed by the Herald explained the law.
“In answering to the allegations of corruption, it is incompetent and superfluous to raise issues of tribalism, nepotism, factionalism and blackmail as competent defences to the criminal charges levelled against a suspect accused person,” he said.
He added that the law was blind to tribalism, nepotism and party factionalism. Professor Moyo has tried in vain to justify his abuse of funds, mainly through his Twitter account.
Another political observer noted that: “Trying to play the tribal card is absurd. Its cases like this that make Zimbabwe to be classified as a country with endemic corruption.” - tinzwei.com/Online Sources
