Zanu Pf continues rocking controversy amid revelations that another aspiring candidate for the party’s primary elections for the National Assembly seat for Mazowe North, Campion Takura Mugweni (34), served 66 months for fraud in USA.

Mugweni, was in 2008 sentenced by U.S. District Judge Ed Kinkeade to 66 months (five and one-half years) in prison announced U.S. Attorney Richard B. Roper of the Northern District of Texas.

Mugweni was ordered by Judge Kinkeade to pay $1,965,637 in restitution.

He was also ordered to forefeit $40,000 in funds seized during an execution of a search warrant in April 2007 and funds IRS-CI seized from his bank accounts.

The US Government also seized two vehicles belonging to Mugweni, a 2005 Hummer H2 and a 2006 Land Rover.

He revealed his citizenship status in a motion for downward departure and was later deported after serving his sentence.

Mugweni is set to battle it out in Zanu Pf primaries this weekend with the current legislator for Mazowe North, Martin Dinha, retired army officer Cairo Mhandu, Simbarashe Nyamayaro and former Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) officer Cleopas Nyangani.
