Former Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister Prisca Mupfumira has been acquitted of charges allegedly defrauding the National Social Security Authority (NSSA) of US$90 million.
Deputy Chief Magistrate Ngoni Nduna delivered the ruling on Saturday.
He ruled that the Prisca never sat on the NSSA Board and, therefore, cannot be blamed for the organisation’s bungling.
Mupfumira had faced accusations of improperly influencing NSSA to enter into an agreement with Drawcard, a land development firm, without following the required tender process.
