City of Harare Executives Spent $389 000 Levy on Personal Cars, Instead of Water And Sanitation

Top executives from the Harare City Council are alleged to have misappropriated $389 000 from the council’s traditional beer levy account and used it to buy personal vehicles. A report from a tribunal chaired by retired High Court judge, Justice George Smith revealed that the money should have been used only with the approval of a minister for services such as water and sanitation, health, education, recreation and other related interventions. The executives who are alleged to have plundered the money and who have since been suspended are:

• Prosper Chonzi ( health director)
• Tendai Kwenda (finance director)
• R.T. Chinengundu
• Cainos Chingombe (human resources)

Part of the report reads:

The diversion of the funds to the personal accounts for the personal benefit of a select group of members of executive management was illegal.

The purchase of vehicles by members of executive management was also unprocedural in terms of the council’s own policies and procedures.

The money shall not be part of the general revenue of the local authority and must only be used for the welfare of the community as approved by the minister…and can only be used to fund the provision of services that include water and sanitation, health, education, recreation and other related interventions.
