Former ZCDC CEO has charges against him withdrawn

Morris Bekezela Mpofu

Former Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Mining Company (ZCDC) CEO Morris Bekezela Mpofu has had charges against him withdrawn after the state failed to gather evidence that warrants his prosecution.

Mpofu was facing criminal abuse of office charges after he allegedly allowed an ex-convict diamond dealer, Robal Hussein to trade in the precious mineral with the Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe.

Allegations against Mpofu arose on March 19 2019, after he recommended Hussein to be allowed to buy diamonds from MMCZ.

Upon being recommended by Mpofu, Hussein bought three diamond parcels weighing 358,58 carats for US$258 224.
