Taurai Zingoga (32) and Dambudzo Mbwana (40) were trapped
by Bhola hardware manager Mr Timothy Mudheredhe when they came to collect the
bribe. The duo told Mr Mudheredhe that they were investigating allegations of
tax evasion against Bhola management.
On September 14, they demanded US$1 000 from Bhola
management for the charges to be dropped. On September 19, the two went back to
Bhola Hardware, Msasa, for the payment. Mr Mudheredhe pretended to comply and
advised them to wait for the money in the boardroom.
He then tipped off ZACC officers and the duo were
subsequently arrested while they were in the process of extorting money.
