The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) has confirmed the arrest of Prosper Isaka, Director of Profutunny Investments (Pvt) Ltd, over allegations of smuggling grocery consignments into Zimbabwe.
Authorities allege that in March and June 2024, Isaka imported grocery shipments from Boss Foods (Pvt) Ltd but misrepresented the cargo at Plumtree Border Post as agricultural equipment to evade paying import duties. The alleged scheme reportedly involved collusion with clearing agents Nyasha Moyo and Blessing Kodzawako, as well as revenue officers Luckson Chikwara, James Dzimirwa, and Tinotenda Allen Mawoyo, who are all currently on remand.
As a result of the alleged misrepresentation, the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) is said to have suffered a financial loss of ZAR 2,700,876.45 in unpaid import duty. ZACC continues to investigate the matter as authorities assess the full extent of the alleged fraudulent activities.
