By Snodia Mawupeni, Hurungwe | Former deputy minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology Dr Godfrey Gandawa has been arrested.

Gandawa was arrested on Friday at Magunje growth point about 35 kilometers west of Karoi.

Insiders told ZimEye.com Gandawa was arrested around mid day.” He was at Magunje growth point and four men in a twin cab at businessman’s shop- Mupaya approached him. He was ordered to leave his car before he was whisked away in a double cab vehicle with around 3 or 4 men in it. Most probably taken to Harare.”

Another source who refused to be named added that his car is still at the growth point.

“Don’t quote me l arrived there when he had been taken away. It was around 12.30 or just after 1. I only saw the car which is now in the custody of the bussinessman. As of 4pm the car was still there,” said the source.

There was no official comment at the time of writing although Gabdawa was last year arrested for abuse of Zimdef funds with his former boss exiled Prof Jonathan Moyo. More to follow…
