The late former President Robert Mugabe’s nephew, Albert
has been fired as Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe (TSCZ) board chairperson.
He was replaced by board member and Postal and
Telecommunications Regulatory Authority boss, Gift Machengete in an acting
capacity.
According to a reliable source, Mugabe was fired last month
on allegations of abuse of office dating back to the days when he was the
Zinara chairperson, amid allegations that he was linked to the G40 faction in
Zanu PF.
In an interview on the sidelines of Remembrance Day
commemorations in Chivhu, Transport and Infrastructure Development minister
Joel Biggie Matiza confirmed that Mugabe was no longer TSCZ chairperson,
claiming he resigned on his own.
“It is true, we now have a new board chairperson in an
acting capacity. I also confirm that he (Mugabe) resigned recently,” Matiza
said.
NewsDay was also reliably informed that government refused
to renew the employment contract of former TSCZ managing director Obio Chinyere
with the search for a new boss now on.
Meanwhile, Machengete said during the festive season, 20
teams, including police officers, have been set up to do educational awareness
across the country.
An average of 2 000 people perish on the country’s roads
each year with most casualties occurring during the festive season. Newsday
