Chief Public Prosecutor, Tawanda Zvekare says the prosecuting arm does not have enough evidence to convict Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) boss Henrietta Rushwaya in her gold smuggling allegations.
Zvekare said ” As NPA we depend on the investigators, that is the police, that is ZACC. If they give us a good docket, with enough evidence, we will not fail you.
But at times we are not given good cases to prosecute, so to speak by the investigators and we would be compromised in our discharge of our mandate as prosecutors”.
Rushwaya was caught trying to smuggle 6.9kgs of gold at Robert Mugabe International Airport in 2020.
