Bikita Rural District Council CEO, Peter Chibhi has died after he reportedly took poison on Saturday.
According to The Mirror, Chibhi died around 3am this Monday, March 11, at Masvingo Provincial Hospital.
Initially admitted at the Roman Catholic-run Silveira Mission Hospital on Saturday, Chibhi was later transferred to Masvingo Provincial Hospital.
Bikita RDC chairperson Thomas Mataga confirmed Chibhi’s death.
His death comes after Local Government and Public Works Minister, Winston Chitando, dispatched a team of investigators last Tuesday to look into various allegations of corruption.
There was also pressure on councillors to pass a vote of no confidence on the CEO.
Last year, Chibhi was in the news after he reportedly received a council loan and procured 6 Toyota GD6 vehicles, and registered them in the names of individual managers.
Another Bikita RDC manager (Administration), Nomatter Gezera, The Mirror has also reported, os admitted at a Kadoma hospital after she collapsed following Chitando’s order that she be suspended for alleged corruption along with other senior council officials.
