Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 45499, member: 636"] Zimbabwe's official corruption fighting agency issued a warning about fake groups pretending to help stop corruption. The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission told citizens to watch out for people claiming to work with anti-corruption agencies. Officials arrested two men from the Southern African Regional Anti-Corruption Organisation for taking bribes and lying about their jobs. Edmond Nzombe asked for money from a woman who reported corruption. Loveworthy Nyamungunda pretended to be a ZACC worker and demanded his car back from city officials. Commissioner Kindness Paradza said many groups are pretending to fight corruption when they really want money. The commission knows that stopping corruption needs help from many people and groups. These fake organizations hurt the real work that honest groups do. Citizens should report anyone who asks for money or claims to work for ZACC. Real anti-corruption work must follow the law and help people without asking for payments. ZACC named 15 fake groups that people should avoid. These organizations have names that sound official but are not connected to the real commission. The groups use words like anti-corruption and trust to trick people into thinking they work for the government. Some groups ask for money to help with corruption cases. Citizens can check with ZACC directly if they are unsure about any organization. The commission reminded people that fighting corruption is their main job under Zimbabwe's constitution. ZACC has the power to investigate corruption in government and private businesses. Other groups that want to help should register properly with the government. People who need help with corruption cases should contact ZACC directly through official channels. [/QUOTE]
