Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Cotton Company of Zimbabwe (COTTCO) has appointed its head of operations Munyaradzi Chikasha as the acting accounting officer.<\/p>\n

This follows the arrest of COTTCO managing director Pious Manamike and head of marketing and ginning Maxmore Njanji on Thursday last week.<\/p>\n

The duo is facing corruption charges mainly centred on conflict of interest after failing to declare their business dealings to their principals.<\/p>\n

In an internal memo to the staff last Friday, COTTCO chairman Sifelani Jabangwe advised workers of the latest development. He said:<\/p>\n

COTTCO executives, namely Pious Manamike and Maxwell Njanji are currently unavailable to execute their duties.<\/p>\n

Whilst they are away, the cotton business needs to continue more so during the intake (buying) season.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the Cottco board of directors has with immediate effect appointed Mr Munyaradzi Chikasha, head of operations to be the acting officer.<\/p>\n

He will be responsible for coordinating all the business activities and reporting to the board.<\/p>\n

Jabangwe, however, did not indicate whether Njanji and Manamike had been suspended or not.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Njanji and Manamike were each granted ZWL$100 000 bail when they appeared before Harare magistrate Stenford Mambanje on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

COTTCO, formerly the Cotton Marketing Board (CMB), is 38 per cent owned by the Government.<\/p>\n
