Chivayo washes hands off Chimombe fraud case

BUSINESSMAN Wicknell Chivayo has challenged a subpoena requiring him to testify in a case where Zanu PF central committee member Mike Chimombe and his business partner  Moses Mpofu are  being accused of fraud involving millions of dollars.

The court issued a subpoena on the instance of Chimombe and Mpofu for Chivayo to testify in their application for referral to the Constitutional Court.

Chivayo, who was being represented by his lawyer Silvester Hashiti in court, argued that he had not been told the reasons for the subpoena and he knew nothing about the case.
