Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) chairperson Justice Loice Matanda-Moyo said some of the local businesspeople who were accused of corruption by former ZANU PF Youth League leaders Lewis Matutu and Godfrey Tsenengamu were already under investigation.

Responding to a question from The Sunday Mail Chief Reporter Kuda Bwititi on ZACC’s position on the allegations made by the duo related to cartels and the three prominent businesspeople, Matanda-Moyo said:

> Some of those persons were already under investigations by ZACC, but the Zanu-PF Youth League members were not the complainants.

> What happened was that only one of the two came to ZACC and made a general report and said that so and so is corrupt.

> As ZACC, those are not the sort of reports that we expect. There are standards that have to be met. You have to meet basic standards to enable ZACC to open a file.

> Imagine if ZACC was to open a file based on a general allegation that so and so is corrupt, how many files would we have?

> We do not just take opinions, they must be some basis for saying someone is corrupt.

> We are not a political outfit. ZACC is apolitical and we do not want to be used in any political fights. If people have evidence and positive leads, we are their friends.

> But let me categorically state that we have never received any solid complaints regards their cases. What they said was just an allegation without any prima facie evidence.

> So whatever matters we are investigating are not because of them.
