HARARE – Lawyers representing NetOne Cellular CEO Raphael Mushanawani, who is facing graft charges, have written to the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) demanding his “urgent and unconditional release,” arguing that his arrest is unlawful and based on false allegations. In a letter dated September 30, 2025, the law firm Rubaya & Chatambudza accused investigators of detaining Mushanawani without cause. But his lawyers dismissed the claims as “brazen falsehoods,” insisting that no such payments were ever made. Rubaya also argued that the ERP upgrade was above board and approved by the NetOne board as part of the company’s 2025 Strategic Plan. “It should have been clear to your officers that the SAP Enterprise Resource Planning System, which NetOne contracted Farevic Systems to supply, is totally different from the Sage 1000 or Sage L200,” the letter reads.
