By Talent Gondo| National Patriotic Front (NPF) National Spokesperson, Jelousy Mawarire has made sensational claims that the current cash crisis in the country is being fuelled by Finance Minister, Patrick Chinamasa, Reserve Bank Governor, Godwin Mangundya and a son of President Emmerson Mnangagwa through a company called Spatan Investments.

Speaking at a public debate in the capital Harare organised by the Election Resource Centre (ERC) (Thursday) under the title “Making Elections Make Sense”, Mawarire accused the trio of offloading money into the black market which is being used by money changers.

“Cash shortages were brought about by Chinamasa and Mangundya.

They practically destroyed nostro accounts.They are bank robbers,” claimed Mawarire.

Zanu Pf representative at the discussion, Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa warned Mawarire against making such serious allegations telling him to be prepared to defend himself in a court of law.

“Those accusations are grave.They are serious allegations and I hope you are ready to respond when offered a chance to defend them in court,” warned Mutsvangwa.

The former Zanu Pf stalwart implicated an unidentified son of President Mnangagwa saying he owned a Zvishavane based company, Makanaka Investments which accessed money through the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe which was then offloaded onto the streets.

“Go to fourth street in the morning and they will tell you that we have not yet received today’s allocation.

That shows you how this syndicate operates. Makanaka Investments is untouchable,” alleged Mawarire.

He said a report had been made to the Zimbabwe Anti Corruption Commission (ZACC) and investigations into the operations of the two companies had started.

Mawarire availed documents below as proof of his statement.

Zimbabweans are currently grappling with cash shortages with the majority of citizens failing to access their cash in the banks.
