Chihuri ordered to arrest Jonathan Moyo

Acting Prosecutor-General Advocate Ray Goba has directed Commissioner-General of Police Augustine Chihuri to urgently finalise the necessary paperwork and take Higher and Tertiary Education Minister Professor Jonathan Moyo to court to answer to fraud, corruption, money laundering and obstructing the course of justice charges.

Prof Moyo, his deputy Godfrey Gandawa and Zimbabwe Manpower Development Fund (Zimdef) finance director Nicholas Mapute stand accused of abusing nearly $500 000 belonging to (Zimdef).

Gandawa and Mapute have since been placed on remand at the Harare Magistrates' Courts, but Prof Moyo filed an application at the Constitutional Court challenging the constitutionality of his arrest.
