A bribe of US$ 10 000 was allegedly given to former ZPC
board chairman Stanley Kazhanje as an
inducement to award Intratrek Zimbabwe
(Pvt) Limited a tender.
New prosecutor Ms Cecilia Mashingaidze yesterday applied
for postponement of the trial to July 13 and 14 to allow her time to prepare.
Chivayo and his company, represented by Advocate Lewis
Uriri, did not oppose the application heard before regional magistrate Mr Ngoni
Nduna.
Chivayo and his company denied ever bribing Kazhanje saying
his company paid the money to the former ZPC board chairperson as payment for
earlier consultation services.
While Intratrek Zimbabwe agrees it did transfer the sum of
US$10 000 into the account of Stanley Kazhanje it has continually stated that
the transfer was made before Kazhanje’s appointment to the ZPC board and was
for professional services rendered prior to the appointment. Herald
