According to ZACC figures, Harare has the most corruption among all provinces. The anti-corruption body received 158 complaints from the capital during 2025's first quarter—that's 86% of all nationwide reports. Gweru came second with just 11 complaints, and Mutare third with nine. ZACC recorded only five cases combined from Mashonaland Central and Mashonaland West provinces.

No corruption reports came from Masvingo or Bulawayo. ZACC Chairman Michael Reza says this happens because people don't know about their offices outside Harare. Many people travel to the capital to report problems instead of using local offices. The commission handled 67 reports in January, 75 in February, and 41 in March.

The majority of reports (138) went to investigations, five to police, and six to Asset Forfeiture. Another 34 cases await review. Men faced 87 accusations compared to 23 against women. ZACC arrested 82 people—54 men, 25 women, and three organizations. They finished investigating 106 cases, with 99 sent for prosecution.

Fraud topped the crime list with 45 cases, followed by abuse of duty (21) and theft (10). Other crimes included money laundering, smuggling, and tax evasion. The commission handled 99 high-profile cases, sending 26 for prosecution, alongside 73 general cases.
