The state-owned oil company has been in the spotlight in recent months over allegations of bad governance.
Some of the issues that made headlines is that of the parastatal’s internal audit manager Erisha Bokoro who was last month implicated in massive corruption.
Bokoro is being accused of covering up his acting chief executive officer Godfrey Ncube’s attempts to siphon over US$300 000 of the parastatal’s funds and consenting to the construction of a filling station without contracts between Petrotrade and suppliers.
