FORMER Information Communication Technology (ICT) minister
Supa Mandiwanzira, pictured, will now stand trial on allegations of criminal
abuse of office after allegedly seconding his personal assistant Tawanda
Chinembiri to the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of
Zimbabwe(Potraz) board without due process.
Regional magistrate Bianca Makwande dismissed
Mandiwanzira’s application for exception in which he had argued that the charge
does not disclose an offence and wanted it quashed. The matter will now proceed
to trial.
The ex-minister was initially charged with two counts of
abuse of office before the one of allegedly engaging a South African firm,
Megawatt Company, to carry out
consultant work for NetOne without due process was thrown out at the High
Court. Daily News
