High Court Sherriff Faces 19 Counts Of Abuse Of Office

The High Court Sherriff, McDuff Madega who was recently arrested for suspected criminal abuse of office and the illegal sale of properties attached by the courts is facing a total of 19 counts of abuse of office which are being probed.

The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) said they were still investigating all the cases that were reported against Madega, according to The Herald.

This comes after several people claimed to have lost houses on account of Madega’s actions and made reports to ZACC.

Madega, who allegedly auctioned a property twice without disclosing to parties involved sometime in 2012, appeared in court last Thursday, charged with fraud.

He was not asked to plead to the charges when he appeared before magistrate Mr Stanford Mambanje who remanded him to July 28 on $20 000 bail.
