The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Anti-Corruption_Commission/">Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC)</a> has announced that a senior officer in the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) has been convicted and sentenced to four years in prison for extortion.
In a statement seen by Pindula News, ZACC said Patrick Badza, the convicted officer, demanded a payment of USD9,900 from a Chinese investor who sought work permits for his workers. Badza threatened to deny the permits if the payment was not made.
The ZACC investigated the matter and arrested Badza, who subsequently faced trial and was found guilty.
The issue of extortion in Zimbabwe remains a persistent problem, as evidenced by recent reports of corruption involving law enforcement officials. In April 2022, three officers from different security agencies were arrested and charged with soliciting a bribe at the Beitbridge border post. The accused individuals, who were part of a joint operation against smuggling and illegal border crossings, allegedly demanded a bribe of R6,500 from a motorist travelling from South Africa. The victim paid the bribe and subsequently reported the incident to a relative who then filed a complaint with the Beitbridge Customs and Excise Regional Manager. The matter was then reported to the police, leading to the arrest of the three officers who were subsequently charged with criminal abuse of office. The magistrate remanded them in custody after the prosecutor successfully opposed bail. 
In 2019, the Zimbabwe Morning Post reported that some retired ministers from the ruling party ZANU-PF, who were employed at the party’s headquarters, had taken over the mandate of the Zimbabwe Investment Authority (ZIA) to promote and facilitate foreign and local investment. According to the publication, investors were directed to the ZANU-PF headquarters to discuss their business interests before going to the ZIA. The report suggested that these <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2019/06/10/zanu-pf-heavyweights-scaring-investors-by-demanding-huge-bribes/">ZANU-PF officials were demanding large kickbacks from investors as facilitation fees.</a> This situation raised concerns about the credibility of the ZIA and the country’s investment climate.
These reports emerged after Zimbabwe lost a billion-dollar investment from Dangote in 2015 due to demands for kickbacks from former first lady Grace Mugabe’s team.
Recently, President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Emmerson_Mnangagwa/">Emmerson Mnangagwa</a> acknowledged the presence of and expressed concern about the corruption and bureaucracy that is scaring away investors. He called for an end to the practice of moving investors from office to office and person to person, which often leads to disappointment and frustration.

ZACC Confirms Senior CIO Officer Sentenced To 4 Years In Prison For Extortion

Harare lawyer Sifiso Mugadza has been barred from legal practice for three years by the Law Society of Zimbabwe (LSZ), reported <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/lawyer-slapped-with-suspension-over-kickbacks/">The Herald</a>.
Mugadza pleaded guilty to unprofessional conduct when he appeared before the Legal Practitioners’ Disciplinary Tribunal, chaired by High Court Judge Justice David Mangota.
David Kanokanga and Sarah Moyo were the other members of the panel.
Mugadza’s law firm was placed under curatorship for the same three years so his other clients do not suffer from his enforced absence.
LSZ had sought the de-registration of Mugadza but imposed a lesser penalty after he admitted to the charges.
Allegations were that Mugadza practiced under Madanhi, Mugadza and Company Attorneys At Law, in Harare and the law firm was on a panel of law firms used by CBZ and its associated companies.
He would be allocated debt collection and conveyancing work by the bank.
Between July 2016 and October 2018 and on several occasions, Mugadza entered into an illicit deal with Noah Munaki, CBZ’s former manager in charge of recoveries, where the lawyer would pay him 15 to 20 percent of his earned fees.
The payments to Munaki were kickbacks for work allocated to Mugadza.
It was established that during that period a total of 32 payments amounting to US$434 698 were made to Munaki.
The payments were made from Mugadza’s trust account, business, or personal account into the bank account of Munaki’s wife, Coderius Matore.
Mugadza submitted a 10-page mitigation to move the tribunal “not to put his neck under the guillotine”.
In his remarks before sentencing the lawyer, Justice Mangota said his conduct undermined public confidence in the legal profession and his moral blameworthiness was very high. He said:
<blockquote>
The respondent (Mugadza) is suspended from practicing as a legal practitioner, notary public, and conveyancer for a period of three years.
</blockquote>
Mugadza’s law firm will be placed under curatorship for it to continue as a going concern.
The illicit deal between Munaki and Mugadza came to light in 2018 after the bank received an anonymous tip-off.
Munaki was found to be involved in underhand dealings with several of the law firms on the CBZ panel of legal services providers.
Mugadza’s firm was one of the firms involved.
The Law Society of Zimbabwe is responsible for representing and regulating how lawyers and law firms operate in Zimbabwe.
Its membership is drawn from all registered legal practitioners in Zimbabwe in private practice, commerce and civil service.
It is the duty of LSZ to ensure, as far as it is able, that its members measure up to the high standards required of them.
