"The ZNNP+ membership is supposed to be made up of people living with HIV/AIDS who in particular have tested positive or who may have spouses or minor children who tested positive. No such evidence was availed in some cases," the report said.

The report said that some members of the organisation belonged to two or more groups and some were allegedly involved in the embezzlement of funds.

"For instance, the payments made to the ZNNP+ office in Masvingo province and during the group's sixth millennium congress were not made on the strength of adequate supporting documents, thereby raising concern as to whether the money was used for its intended purpose," it noted.

"About $936,266 was issued by the Masvingo office as loan advances to Masvingo-Fact, an organisation that had already received $4,490,800 from NAC (National AIDS Council). There was no evidence that the money was repaid and channelled towards the intended purpose identified in the budget submitted by ZNNP+ to NAC when it applied for funding."

The National AIDS Council is responsible for mobilising and managing financial resources in support of a national response to the HIV/AIDS scourge.
