She was granted ZWL$100 000 and will be back in court on 31 July 2023. ZACC said in a statement:

The accused person’s actions were in conflict with Chitungwiza Municipality Housing Policy which provides that commercial stands are offered with council resolution and through competitive bidding. Her actions were intended to show favour to the beneficiaries.

Hazel Sithole appeared in court and was given ZWL 100 000.00 bail. She will be back in court on 31 July 2023.

Criminal Abuse of Duty as a Public Officer is a criminal offence that is defined under the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.

It occurs when a public officer, such as a government official or civil servant, abuses their position of authority for personal gain or to cause harm to another person.

The offence is committed when a public officer wilfully neglects to perform their duty without reasonable excuse, unlawfully confers a benefit on themselves or another person or unlawfully causes harm or loss to another person.

The offence carries a penalty of up to 15 years imprisonment, a fine, or both.

There is no city or town which has as many land barons as Chitungwiza has. [ DO NOT VOTE FOR GOLD MAFIA CRIMINALS ]. They have been arrested before, but they have been either acquitted or their cases have taken too long to finalise. [ THE BUSH LAWYER4CCC ].

The highest office in Zim says the dramatic fall of the Zim dollar and the corresponding huge price hike of commodities is not the end of the world. To those supported by corruption and gold mafia proceeds, yes, it's not the end of the world, but for the rest of us who already have suffered for years and can't afford basics, we are past being dead, we are and having been in hell for a long time. We are patiently waiting for the national elections!!!

Thanks ZACC. Please go after the Gold Mafia next. In case you're not too sure who is in that Gold Mafia, just start with Henrietta Rushwaya and Ubert Mudzaniri.
