Sheriff of the High Court of Zimbabwe, Macduff Madega has been arrested by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) and is facing allegations of abusing his office as a public official.
A press release from the corruption watchdog states that Madega will appear in court today (Thursday).
Allegations are that Madega was instructed to auction a stand by a judgment creditor in fulfilment of a judgment debt.
It is alleged that he attached and auctioned the stand to the highest bidder.
However, before confirming the sale of the property, Madega received an objection which he presided over resulting in him not confirming the sale.
Zacc said after allowing the objection to stand, Madega is alleged to have put the same property for sale by private treaty and did not disclose the previous objection to the buyer.
The corruption watchdog said it is still investigating several other allegations against Madega. Nhau/Indaba
