Deputy minister of Higher Education Godfrey Gandawa Thursday arrested and questioned by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) over his involvement in the Zimdef looting.
He was questioned for 5 hours and later released to the custody of his lawyer and is appearing in court today..
Gandawa are accused of misappropriating $430, 000.
His arrest comes after Prof Moyo was also arrested on Wednesday.
The two are charged together with Zimdef chief executive Frederick Mandizvidza and Zimdef principal director (finance) Nicholas Mapute.
ZACC investigator, Goodson Nguni said, they have all the statements from Zimdef, from Fuzzy Technologies, a company owned by Dr Gandawa.
“No money from Zimdef benefited any political party. It is a lie. All monies that have been paid out have been traced to the personal benefit of Prof Moyo, Dr Gandawa, Mr Honzeri and Mr Mapute.
“ No money was paid to any political party or to the benefit of any political party. The beneficiaries of all these monies that we would want to charge people for, are those people that I have mentioned.”
“The money from Zimdef was used to buy personal furniture, bicycles, tricycles but the documentation was forged to say that the money was for a computerisation programme.
