By Own Correspondent- Senior government officials here have been accused of looting donated funds mobilised to support the Zimbabwe Netball Team leaving them stranded.

A source told ZimEye.com that funds donated towards supporting 26 netball team players inclusive of their technical team were reportedly splashed on 27 government officials.

The source revealed that expenses for the government officials had already been settled while the fate of the players is not yet confirmed.

Said the source:

” Greetings I don’t know who to tell but I’m devastated in all my efforts to support our country.

There are planned demonstrations in the UK because officials took money from fundraising and paid for tickets, hotel and food for government officials.

Yet the government paid for the tickets for the team. Now we are being told they do not have hotel and food because it has been used by 53 officials coming from Zimbabwe .

The diaspora people are now going to the home office, British government and at the world netball cup to demonstrate against continued corrupt activities.

This might affect the travel for SB Moyo and Tourism Minister who are supposed to be visiting the UK and they want them to go and deal with corruption in netball.

” Honestly please please where is the anti corruption team to deal with all of them immediately so the girls can use those hotel reservations and food paid for them with the money from fundraising for netball girls and not them.

We cannot have demonstrations here while we are trying to rebuild a positive image for Zimbabwe .

Please can you help to have this matter dealt with immediately by investigating and exposing it.”
