By Own Correspondent| Shepherd Tundiya, a businessman and contractor at Hwange Colliery has opened a can of worms accusing the auditor who audited Hwange Colliery books of accounts of misrepresenting facts before the mines and energy portfolio committee.

Reynolds Tendai Muza, a forensic auditor and investigator with Ralph Bomment Greenacre and Reynolds, on Monday told parliament to invoke the Prevention of Corruption Act in order to investigate mines minister Winston Chitando over coal delivery deals entered into by Hwange Colliery and a haulage company the minister allegedly owns.

Tundiya however told the Temba Mliswa led committee that there was a Zanu Pf linked cartel at the colliery which was in the habit of stealing from Hwange.

He accussed Zanu Pf stalwart who sit in the Mines and Energy Portfolio Committee of holding clandestine meetings with Hwange board members.

“I have evidence of some members of this committee who met with certain Hwange board members at a certain Harare lodge recently.”

When probed to name and shame the members, Tundiya sought for the protection of parliament which the chairperson of the committee, Mliswa said was granted.

However, he refused to budge and name the parliamentarians before he was asked to retract his statement and he complied.
