Duration Gold Limited director Raymond Smithwick told the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Youth, Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment that the duo was "abusing their public office for personal gain".
Smithwick said Gumbo, who is a former employee of the company made false reports to the Ministry of Mines and Mining Development in Bulawayo that the manner in which the firm was extracting gold was dangerous.
He said the ministry then ordered them to stop mining the crown pallets resulting in them mining low grade gold only hence having low income.
Smithwick suggested that their aim was to take over the main after it fails to sustain itself economically.
The council led by Zanu-PF MP for Gokwe-Nembudziya Justice Mayor Wadyajena slammed Smithwick and defended their accused counterparts saying he should bring hard evidence that the two wanted to benefit anything from the mine.
This report follows claims laid by a number of Zanu PF officials on farms and mines.
