Ex-ZBC staffer, MP appeal dismissed

FORMER Zanu PF legislator Psychology Maziwisa and popular television presenter Oscar Pambuka had their appeal against conviction and sentence for defrauding  the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) of US$12 000  dismissed by the High Court last week. 

Maziwisa and Pambuka were sentenced to six years imprisonment by Harare magistrate Lazini Ncube in 2018 after they were fraudulently awarded a ZPC public relations contract through then Energy minister Samuel Undenge without going to tender.

Ncube released the two on $800 bail each pending High Court appeal on their conviction and sentence.
