Zimbabwe's anti-graft body fights claims it targets only small cases. The Anti-Corruption Commission sent 343 cases to prosecutors last year, with 50 involving high-ranking people. Spokesperson Simiso Mlevu says critics wrongly claim the commission avoids influential figures.

After the commission refers cases, the National Prosecuting Authority is responsible for prosecuting them. Convictions show that their work succeeds, Mlevu added. The commission also conducts quiet financial investigations to prevent suspects from hiding ill-gotten assets before seizure.

Notable convictions include former Energy Minister Samuel Undenge, ex-Mining Secretary Francis Gudyanga, former lawmaker Psychology Maziwisa, and several other officials. The commission signed eight cooperation agreements last year with various organizations to strengthen anti-corruption efforts. These deals help align strategies between agencies.

President Mnangagwa recently swore in eight new commissioners, showing the government's focus on fighting corruption. Previous agreements with the Public Service Commission and Botswana's anti-corruption body have already started working, improving regional teamwork against graft.
