Levy Sibanda has been fingered in a scandal involving the theft of five cattle from Peggy Chipendo, who works in the Office of the President in Chinhoyi.
According to police documents, Chipendo's farm worker Kainos Chapfura on September 17 last year reported a stocktheft case at Mhangura Police Station under case number CR 27/10/14, but investigations into the matter yielded nothing.
On January 7 this year, a junior police officer, only identified as Constable Madzivanzira based at Mhangura Police Station, reportedly cleared the same beasts and indicated that they were destined for ZRP Morris Depot.
But it emerged that the beasts had been stolen by Samuel Hwema and sold to Sibanda through his farm manager.
Sibanda was allegedly sucked into the issue after Hwema, who is currently in custody over a different stocktheft charge, implicated him in the theft. It was also claimed that Sibanda sold the meat to the staff canteen at Morris depot in Harare.
All the claims and accusations have been denied.
