The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission has arrested Member of Parliament for Chiredzi South, Joel Sithole, on charges of abuse of duty after he allegedly misappropriated over ZWG 1.2 million of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF).

Sithole allegedly received a ZWG 1,234,150.00 (equivalent to USD 50,000) CDF disbursement from the Parliament of Zimbabwe in August 2025.

The funds were intended for development projects that included the construction of a classroom block and roofing of staff houses at Gwaseche Primary School and Makanani Clinic.

After receiving the funds, Sithole, who serves as the Chairperson of the CDF committee and is a signatory to its bank account, allegedly diverted the money.

Investigations established that Sithole, acting in common purpose with one Edson Chauke, who is still at large, transferred ZWG 850,000 from the CDF account to a local wholesaler for the purchase of groceries.

He reportedly also spent ZWG 418,516.00 at grocery shops, hotels, and beer outlets.
To conceal the alleged misappropriation, Sithole later purchased 100 bags of cement and a few roofing sheets for a different school to create the impression that project work had commenced.

He is expected to appear at Masvingo Magistrates Court tomorrow, 26 March, 2026.

Villager jailed for selling communal land

A 51-year-old man from Nyadongo Village, Chief Zimunya, has been convicted and sentenced to an effective six months in prison for defrauding two women of US$1,150.00 in a bogus land deal.

Stephen Shamu appeared before Magistrate Honest Musiyiwa at the Mutare Magistrates' Court on the 25th of February 2026, facing two counts of fraud as defined in Section 136 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act. He pleaded guilty to both charges.

The court heard that between August and November 2025, Shamu falsely misrepresented himself to the complainants, Nokuthula Nleya and Bridget Batsirai Chiwandika, claiming he had the lawful authority to sell land in Dora Village, Mutare.

Shamu collected US$525.00 from the first complainant and US$625.00 from the second, promising them ownership rights, village registration, and fencing. The fraudulent deal was purportedly validated through false affidavits drafted in November 2025, in which Shamu allegedly impersonated the supposed landowner, Douglas Bhunu, by inserting Bhunu’s details while appending his own signature and fingerprint.

The illegal act was discovered when the complainants attempted to develop the land and were intercepted by the village head, Bvirindi, who advised that the land did not belong to Shamu or Bhunu, but had been reserved for his sister.

The matter was reported to ZACC and Shamu was arrested on 23 February 2026.

Magistrate Musiyiwa sentenced Shamu to 12 months imprisonment. Six months of the sentence were set aside on condition that he fully compensates the complainants the total amount of US$1,150.00 by the 10th of March 2026.
