The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission won every court case it handed to prosecutors this year. Since January, they have dealt with 183 corruption reports, most from Harare, with 158 cases. Gweru reported 11 cases, Mutare had nine, Mashonaland Central recorded three, and Mashonaland East logged just two. No cases came from Bulawayo or Masvingo because people there might not know about the local ZACC offices. Many people from areas with ZACC offices still travel to file reports in Harare instead.

Fraud topped the list with 45 cases, followed by abuse of office with 21. Courts finished trials for 12 of the 99 cases ZACC sent to the National Prosecuting Authority. All 12 ended with guilty verdicts, giving ZACC a perfect conviction record. The anti-corruption team arrested 82 people during the first three months of 2025. These arrests included 54 men, 25 women, and three organizations.

The commission focuses mainly on major cases that harm the national economy. Out of their total 99 referrals, they referred 26 high-profile cases to prosecutors. Reports targeted 87 men and 23 women accused of corruption. Another 18 reports named groups or organizations, and 55 more listed unknown persons. ZACC leaders believe they need more public awareness campaigns about their offices across Zimbabwe's provinces.
