The family of the late CIO Deputy General, Elias Kanengoni has received a lump sum tax reprieve from government, ZimEye can reveal, in a development which further shows how the Zimbabwean government has to date lost millions of dollars in money that could have been collected and utilised in crucial service delivery for the nation at large.
This comes soon after the late Mr Kanengoni was granted the status of national hero. Such a status attracts, among other benefits, a whopping tax reprieve that benefits the estate handsomely. In addition to government aid in funeral expenses that include feeding mourners, the government stands to lose uncollected amounts on duty as the estates of all persons declared national heroes are given automatic tax exemption. Such a development has seen government failing to collect billions of dollars over the past 20 years as the supposed duty funds are never touched. For instance, the estate of heroes like the late Retired Army General Solomon Mujuru (speculated into billions), would normally add value to government coffers through millions of precious but idle money supposed to be estate duty and taxes. Unfortunately, the politicians who are normally wealthy through land, cash and other assets emerging through their political careers, rule from the grave and are shielded from scrutiny by ZANU PF-initiated but legislated policy that makes their estates remain unaffected by duty and taxes.
In terms of section 3 of the National Heroes Act Chapter 10:16. of Zimbabwe, once a person s designated as a hero, their estate is exempt from estate duty.

Why do you people write rubbish? Is it ignorance or poor dis-information. What billions are you writing about? Mujuru could never ever have been worth billions, from what? What would the estates of the Chinamano, and others have been worth. It is a fact that most families of heroes now live in abject poverty.

Anambwa kani? Cde Elias Kanengoni earned all that was accorded to him. Through selflessness and a lot of personal sacrifice, he earned and deserves all the honours and accorlades. This privilage cannot be extended to traitors.
Kikikiki! One has to laugh at the confusion in zanu ranks -a cio murderer meets his demise through factional infighting and they cant even get spokesdog Charamba to deny.
As for the Kanengoni murderer he goes to meet his maker with his hands covered in innocent blood.
Is that so? Really?
Gutter reporting and misleading heading
This is amateurish reporting.Your headline is very misleading and whole report is too far fetched.
He lived by the sword and died by the sword. Reports say this murdering bastard was also murdered, poisoned with cyanide because of the ongoing factional fighting in Zinja PF. Whoever sent this human waste to hell deserves a pat on the back! A murderer is murdered and his family gets a windfall, typical banana republic mentality!
Dear CIO Families
A Large windfall awaits you should your loved one meet his demise. Should you wish to access these funds right now you are welcome to expedite your loved one’s journey to the gates of hell.
Your sincerely,
Robitso Mugay
