Higher Education minister Jonathan Moyo has denied any knowledge of Fuzzy Technologies (Pvt) Limited owners, a company caught up in the Zimdef corruption saga.
However, the firm is owned by Godfrey Gandawa, his deputy.
The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission is accusing Moyo of siphoning more than $400 000 from the coffers of the Zimbabwe Manpower Development Fund.
Moyo has however defended himself writing on his Twitter account that he was the "Robin Wood" of Zimbabwe.
Gandawa was also dragged into the alleged scam, through Fuzzy Technologies.
In a twitter post on Wednesday, Moyo seem to suggest he is not aware of Gandiwa's links to Fuzzy Technologies.
"
I know Fuzzy Technologies (whose owner I don't know) delivered what it
was contracted to do as did AB Communications (whose owner I know)!"
said Moyo.
According to reports, Moyo and his subordinates raised a fake memorandum approving purchase of 170 computers worth $107 525 from Fuzzy Technologies without going to tender.
Fuzzy Technologies supplied 50 computers worth $24 000, meaning Zimdef was prejudiced of $83 525.
On February 10, 2016, Fuzzy Technologies was given a contract to supply computers worth $41 250 and Gandawa's company did not supply the computers.
On April 7, 2016, Gandawa's Fuzzy Technologies was given another task to supply goods and services worth $185 840 to be used by the Ministry at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair.
The money was transferred into Fuzzy Technologies account, after which $120 000 was transferred into Gandawa's personal account in three batches of $70 000, $30 000 and $20 000.
