Ren-Form CC, a South African company, is involved in a controversy that has caught the attention of Zimbabwean news.
The issue centers around three Zimbabwean businessmen – Wicknell Chivayo, Mike Chimombe, and Moses Mpofu – who are under investigation.
The controversy is about Ren-Form CC’s alleged involvement in a procurement scandal with the Zimbabwe Election Commission (ZEC). Although the company denies any business dealings with these men, evidence suggests otherwise.

The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) is investigating Chivayo, Chimombe, and Mpofu for allegedly stealing trust property and money laundering.
They are accused of securing deals worth millions from ZEC without following proper procedures, possibly with Ren-Form CC’s help.
Ren-Form CC released a statement on social media, denying any connection with the businessmen and calling the allegations baseless.
They stated, “We do not know these gentlemen and have no relationship with them regarding ZEC or any other matter.”
However, photos recently shared by The NewsHawks show Chivayo and Mpofu at Ren-Form’s offices in Johannesburg with a company executive, Angus Carlaw, on February 2, 2024.

These images contradict the company’s denial.
The photos have raised doubts about Ren-Form CC’s previous statements, leading to public skepticism about the company’s transparency and involvement in the ZEC procurement scandal.

The investigation focuses on suspicions of corruption in a $40 million procurement for electoral materials.
Chimombe and Mpofu, who had been in Harare since their return from a business trip to China on Thursday, were freed following questioning and told they would be called if more information was required.
