Two Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) officers stationed at Plumtree Border Post have been arrested on allegations of falsifying the exit of two luxury vehicles, a Lamborghini and a Mercedes-Benz GLE 53.
The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) confirmed the arrests of Edwin Mhondiwa Chabuda and Upenyu Chaurura, who are facing charges of Criminal Abuse of Duty as Public Officers.
In a statement, yesterday, ZACC said investigations had revealed that the two officers allegedly cleared the high-value vehicles for exit at Plumtree Border Post without physically inspecting them.
“Investigations revealed that the two officers allegedly cleared the two high-value vehicles for exit at Plumtree Border Post without physically inspecting them, in violation of ZIMRA Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs),” said ZACC.
The officers are further accused of fraudulently certifying that the vehicles had exited the country when, in fact, they had not.
The two vehicles were subsequently seized by ZACC at a lodge in Newlands, Harare, last week.
The accused persons are expected to appear before the Plumtree Magistrates’ Court today, November 10, 2026, to answer to the charges.
