ZACC Nabs Top Cop Makodza


Officer Commanding Matabeleland North province Commissioner Erasmus Makodza has been arrested by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC), Nhau has learnt.

Comm Makodza has become the second top officer in the rank and file of the Zimbabwe Republic Police to be arrested on corruption related charges after CID boss Chrispen Charumbira was arrested last year for criminal abuse of office and obstructing the course of justice.

ZACC spokesperson Commissioner John Makamure said Makodza allegedly appointed his girlfriend as an investor to partner a police farm for self-aggrandisement.

However, police sources said his arrest is a reflection of the jostling for power taking place at police headquarters. Commanders are allegedly smearing each other in a bid to land the organisation’s top job.

“Officers in top command are jostling for power to take over from Commissioner-General Godwin Matanga as he is nearing retirement, thus they are smearing each other,” a source said. Nhau/Indaba
