Mangoma freed on bail

Former Energy Minister Elton Mangoma who was arrested yesterday for abuse of public office nearly three years ago was released today on $1 000 bail and was asked to surrender his  passport and report once a week at the Harare Central Police Station. Mangoma is alleged to have instructed the managing director of the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company Julian Chinembiri to cancel a tender for pre-paid electricity vending which he then allegedly awarded to OK Zimbabwe without going to tender.  Mangoma has not yet been formally charged and is represented by Beatrice Mtetwa.
