Zimra suspends 8 more senior managers

Eight more senior managers mainly from the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority‘s Information Communication and Technology department have been suspended with immediate effect following  a forensic audit by Deloitte and Touché chartered accountants, which implicated them in shady dealings believed to have cost the national revenue collector millions of dollars.

Those suspended include director of infrastructure and ICT development Mr Tjiyapo Velempini, head of ICT Mr Allen Saruchera, systems development manager Mr Can Goredema and two other officials from the loss control department, one of whom is Mr Benjamin Zenda whose employment was fraught with irregularities as he did not have the qualifications for the job and was allegedly hand-picked by Gershem Pasi.

Other suspended officials are Mr Moses Madongorere (case manager), Mr Peter Chaparadza (chief loss control officer), Mr Adrian Swarres (head, compliance and risk) and Mr Max Mugari (head, advisory services). Zimra board chairperson Mrs Willia Bonyongwe was not reachable for comment.
