Kasukuwere's younger brother accused of looting $40 000 National Youth Games fund

Zanu-PF national commissar Savior Kasukuwere’s younger brother Stanley is being accused of looting $40 000 that was released by the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) for the National Youth Paralympic Games 2017 that were held in Bindura in April.

The Herald reports that NMB Bank and other charity organisations provided the trophies that were given to the winners and food for athletes while the $40 000 which was meant to be used to pay service providers cannot be accounted for. Stanley states that everyone that provided a service did so voluntarily. He also said the $40 000 they received was not enough against their $400 000 budget.

Chairperson of the Government committee coordinating the games, Ms Judith Hove released a statement saying that Kasukuwere was denying to release money the protocol department she heads because it implemented her own decisions. Mashonaland Central province Senator Annah Shiri and Mashonaland Central provincial administrator Mr Cosmos Chiringa said they had received complaints of non payment from service providers. Shiri said that she had forwarded the complaints to Provincial Minister of State Advocate Martin Dinha as the custodian of the games.
