Three ZIMRA  Employees Arrested  For Helping Fuel Company To Divert A Fuel Tank

Three employees of the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) stationed at Chirundu Border Post have been arrested for assisting a fuel company to divert a fuel tank robbing the state of US$30,000 in taxes.

The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) confirmed the arrest of Shepherd Mayeka (40), Honest Chikorese (36), and Simbarashe Chingondo (29), and revealed that Agreement Zhira had fled to Zambia.

Chingondo is facing obstruction of justice charges for tipping off Mayeka about the ZACC investigation, NewZimbabwe reported. They are accused of assisting Elima Fuels to divert fuel.

The fuel was supposed to be transported to Zambia in a truck with registration numbers ADZ 8991 and AFJ 1684. However, the truck driver and a ZIMRA sealing officer collaborated and placed the master seal on a different vehicle to avoid detection by ZIMRA’s tracking system.

The truck took a different route, stopping at a service station in Waterfalls, Harare, instead of reaching Chirundu Border Post. At Chirundu, the ZIMRA employee falsely claimed to have checked the seal and endorsed it on the bill of entry.

Mayeka, along with Chikorese and Zhira, entered false information into the Chikorese system, stating that they had conducted a physical examination on the truck. Zhira even issued a road report for the truck, knowing that it had never been at the border.

On August 22, a team from ZACC conducted a raid at Elima Fuels in Waterfalls, Harare and retrieved one of the trucks involved in the case.

Mayeka, Chikorese, and Zhira were allegedly involved in another case on August 21 and the second truck was recovered also recovered.

ZIMRA’s Tracking System:
The ZIMRA vehicle tracking system involves electronic tracking devices installed on trucks carrying the tanks, which transmit real-time data to the ZIMRA control room. The system ensures that tanks follow designated routes and reach their intended destinations. Master seals are used to maintain tank integrity, and any tampering triggers an alert. This system helps prevent unauthorised diversions, tax evasion, and smuggling. ZIMRA can enforce tax compliance and ensure proper fuel distribution by utilising the tracking system and master seals.
