Frank Chitukutuku, the former CEO of the Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA), has indeed been ordered by the High Court to forfeit assets valued at approximately US$30 million to the State. This ruling stems from investigations by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC), which determined that these assets were acquired through unexplained wealth during his tenure, disproportionate to his legitimate income. The forfeiture builds on prior civil proceedings dating back to 2023, where similar assets were targeted under anti-corruption laws.
The seized assets span real estate, vehicles, jewelry, cash, shares, and business interests. Here’s a breakdown compiled from court rulings and ZACC announcements:
- Luxury Homes: Multiple high-end residential properties in affluent Harare suburbs, acquired during his ZINARA tenure.
- Vehicles: Black Mercedes-Benz ML 350 luxury SUV; other top-end cars forming a high-value fleet.
- Jewelry: Various gold jewelry items.
- Cash: US$2,200 in United States dollars; N90,280,934.00 (South African Rand, approx. US$5,000–6,000).
- Shares & Business Interests: Holdings in companies like Champions Insurance; broader illicitly accumulated business assets.
- Other Movable Assets: Undisclosed personal effects, investments, potential farms, or commercial properties.
