By Langton Ncube|Former Higher and Tertiary Education minister Jonathan Moyo said Zanu PF looted State coffers to sustain most of its activities including the last year’s aborted Presidential interface rallies.
The party bought several campaign vehicles and spent over $20 million in Presidential interface rallies last year, and has over the years denied looting government coffers to fund its largesse.
Moyo told the South African Broadcasting Corporation on Wednesday night, that Zanu PF did not have any other source of funding because all its companies had either been run down or were not paying dividends to the party, leaving it broke and riding on government funding.
“There is no cent that comes from those companies, including a bank, including investments in the region and countries like Namibia and even South Africa,” he said.
Moyo brushed aside allegations that he corruptly looted $430 000 from the Zimbabwe Manpower Development Fund (Zimdef), which had become a subject of investigation even before he skipped the country, saying the money was used for Zanu PF programmes.
“They say that I took $430 000 from Zimdef, when they know very well that the money . . . if you look at that
$430 000, about $200 000 of that went into the ministry’s participation at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair and the remainder of that money supported approved Zanu PF programmes,” he said.
Moyo said he used another $100 000 to fund various developmental projects is his Tsholotsho North constituency. The self-exiled former Zanu PF politburo member, instead, accused President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga of being corrupt.
“I am not corrupt. This is seriously laughable. This is coming from the most corrupt politicians and public officials in the history of our country. They cannot account for the assets that they have. The richest individual in the Republic of Zimbabwe is Emmerson Mnangagwa,” he said.
Presidential spokesperson George Charamba recently accused Moyo of launching a smear campaign because he misses the trappings of power.
Zanu PF spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo could not be reached for comment.
Do not insult me. .
Ngwena akakuwororai
I rest my case thank you.
In the same manner if ED and Chiwenga were to see people’s comments they would resign because failure to do so will result in them loosing their loot in time to come when Zimbabweans demand what is theirs.
People should learn to say handina hanya instead of using the plural form because that does not represent the will of the people. The will of the people is enshrined in true democracy where a leader is chosen the the ballot and not via the coup.
The crocodile can only stay in the water under the shadow of the military, it can only show its bloody teeth but when it comes to free and fair elections it retreats only to surface when preying.
The crocodile was defeated intellectually, strategically, left right and center, he had to turn to the guns, the bullets, the army. That route will be in the Zimbabwean history that their was a wicked guy who was corrupt, who was a serial killer and he attacked a 94 old with machine guns and tanks.
Drunk people can talk sense, they can tell the truth. At least we now know how ZANU PF uses state funds. Thanks Jonathan Moyo, you are a true man noet those who follow the whirlwind of ED and Chiwenga.
There is that ghetto proverb which says “Ukarwadziwa neni haupori”.
Jonso and the G40 were so convinced that they had eliminated Ngwena that they never expected the coup which was not a coup. When Ngwena fought back his teeth bit so hard and deep into Jonso that they pierced his soul. The poor fool is now so traumatized that I believe to his last breath Jonso will forever be cursing and vilifying the Crocodile.

Dream on. Jonso has lost his marbles. Inonzi Ngw8ena
Jonah shut up and suffer like the rest of us in silence. When u and G40 were on the apex of power u defended this corrupt gvt. Now beacause you are out in the cold u want to look innocent. Ar u not the same Jonso who of the G40 cabal
Its you the drunken fool……Jonso is releasing info that Mnangagwa knows about and doesnt want it in the public domain. If there is a corruption mastermind – its non other than Mnangagwa himself. Like Chamisa said – sending a mosquito to cure malaria….
As if we were in any doubt that Zanu PF is full of thieves.
Talking too much for Jonso had made lost control….now he do not know exactly what he telling the world….some of his speeches he can not remembering them….he is like a drunk person…………..
