Controversies
Theft Allegations
Hlanganani Dube was accused of having a hand in the theft of 30 tonnes of beef meant for the military’s Recruitment Training Depot in Mbalabala, Matabeleland South. Dube allegedly diverted the meat to butcheries where it was sold before the money disappeared into private pockets.
Allegations were that a driver was sent to deliver 30 tonnes of meat to the training school in Mbalabala and he brought the delivery note and the invoice but did not offload the meat.
Investigations led to Dube's office. A source who spoke to ZimLive said most of the generals are engaged in murky deals and were reluctant to take action on Major General Hlanganani Dube.
Dube was reached for comment by the publication that broke the story but did not make any comment(s).[3]
