Yes, it’s confirmed. We have arrested Patrick Mavhura. It relates to abuse of office. We will give you more specifics tomorrow (today) but one of the cases involves diversion of funds channelled to ZBC.

A police source told ZimLive:

“ZBC is the complainant in the matter. Mavhura allegedly diverted payments from advertising agencies meant for the ZBC towards the purchase of his house in Borrowdale.

“ZBC also does barter deals with companies, wherein companies buy airtime in exchange for services or goods. Mavhura is accused of abusing this facility to buy all the furniture and other household goods for his house.”
