The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission has indicated that it wants to drag Mphoko to court for alleged abuse of office during the time when he and current president Emmerson Mnangagwa were the country’s co-vice presidents, serving under former president Robert Mugabe.
Mphoko was among top government officials who fled the country when it became obvious that Mnangagwa was succeeding in seizing power with the help of the army. He came back to the country months later after the intervention of former president of Botswana, Ian Khama. He said ZACC officials had said Mphoko was supposed to come to court for remand on Monday in order to be given a trial date in Harare, only for them to change goal-posts and say he must go to the police.
“It is sad that the former VP refused to collaborate with the enforcement officers. Unfortunately, he and those around him believe that they are above the law…no one is above the law.
