A couple formerly working at the Midlands State University (MSU) Mamelo Moyo and her husband, Melusi Moyo yesterday jointly appeared in court on allegations of failing to declare to their employer that they had an interest in a company that supplied goods to the institution.
Allegations are that Mamelo would authorise payments on goods supplied by her husband’s company, Netabelt Investments (Pvt) Ltd, to MSU without following proper tender procedures. Mamelo and Melusi allegedly carried out the transactions without registering any conflict of interest with MSU.
Court Reports show that Melusi, through Netabelt Investments which is owned by her husband, had three transactions worth $36 857 with MSU that were processed through tender processes for supplying stationery.
Mamelo, who was a member of the university’s tender adjudication committee, did not disclose such conflict of interest to the committee. After receiving the stationery, she allegedly approved payment in cash to Melusi.
Further allegations are that Melusi had 30 transactions through his company, Netabelt, worth $154 393 with MSU for the supply of stationery and food. His wife would authorise payments to him.
In all these transactions, both suspects allegedly failed to declare any conflict of interest with their employer.
The couple appeared before Gweru provincial magistrate Pathekile Msipa facing charges of corruptly concealing from a principal a personal interest in a transaction as defined in section 173 (1) (a) (1) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act. They were both denied bail and remanded to March 2 for trial.
