Push to arrest Didymus Mutasa fizzles out

Police are yet to receive a report on former Zanu-PF secretary for administration, Didymus Mutasa against whom criminal allegations have been levelled.

The outgoing Headlands legislator, who was relieved of his duties as a Member of Parliament two weeks ago for allegedly going against the charges by former colleagues ranging from abuse of office to theft.

He is accused of looting confidential party documents when he abandoned his office at the Zanu-PF national headquarters in Harare.

Mutasa is also accused of fraudulently dishing out farms to his relatives and friends while protecting the interests of white farmers whose farms had been earmarked for redistribution under the land reform programme.

Although there have been hints within and without that party that the former Zanu-PF godfather for Manicaland province is headed for arrest, the matter is not yet before the police.
