  President Emmerson Mnangagwa has formally appointed High Court judge Justice Loice Matanda Moyo as the new head of the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC). The appointment has raised eyebrows as people are questioning the apparent conflict of interest as Justice Matanda-Moyo is married to Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Lieutenant General (retired) Sibusiso Busi (SB) Moyo. Unsurprisingly, however, there are also those who believe that the appointment is a stroke of genius on Mnangagwa's part.
  Below are some of the reactions to the appointment from Zimbabweans online,
  People are concerned that her marital status presents a conflict of interest. That's why it has overshadowed her eminent qualifications. You know that, Jacob. https://t.co/kW0s1iCLom

  Loice Matanda-Moyo, the wife of coup announcer, Sibusiso Moyo is set to be the next head of the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission. Might as well call it Coup-babwe.

  Do they understand that – regardless of qualifications – there's a need to avoid a conflict of interest in the anti-corruption body? Remember the Lottery barring the families of Lottery employees from buying a ticket? Same concept. Loice Matanda-Moyo is married to a gvt minister.

  Yes it's controversial and brings questions on how independent the commission will be @edmnangagwa keeps on making wrong moves

  The only qualified people in Zimbabwe are married to Zanupf officials. Shame everyone else doesn't hold the right qualifications or qualities.

  An extremely competent legal mind. Made her name as a no nonsense prosecutor and has been an hardworking judge. An excellent pick. The first meritocratic appointment by ED.

  Despite the flaws around her appointment . The face is well suited for the job.
  In our Zanu networks she was the most ugly woman we had to be feared, hence the appointment . Job was meant for Mai Mahofa initially before her demise.

  It makes sense. ED needs someone he can trust. Someone who is not afraid of the big dogs. Someone with the same vested interest in succeeding. Its a good appointment as far as I can tell.

  She is a Judge of the High Court. Was she supposed to relinquish her post too as a Judge because her husband & cabinet colleagues might come before her answering to all sorts of allegations? Is ZACC's sole role to investigate cabinet members? Smh

  Justice Loice Matanda Moyo was appointed by President ED to be the ZACC Chairperson on the basis of MERIT not Marriage.
  She is qualified in her own right as a well experienced Judge. Her marital status is neither fair nor reasonable basis to deny her a job she is qualified for!

  Now Mnangagwa appoints Justice Loice Matanda-Moyo, the wife of Foreign Affairs Minister Sibusiwe Moyo as the chair of the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC). This doesn't work. This conflictual and already ZACC is captured. How will she deal with Minister Moyo, friends!
