Jane Mlambo| A Twitter character by the name Matigari, known for releasing classified government information while frequently attacking the opposition has finally been exposed following an in-depth study by a group of researchers operating under the banner of Teampachedu.
According to Teampachedu, @matigary’s Twitter account is linked to an IT expert Taurai Chinyamakobvu.
Chinyamakobvu’s profile posted on IREX, an American organization that runs the Mandela Washington fellowship programme reveals that he is a partner and investor in Flocash Zimbabwe, a joint venture with a UK payment gateway services company.
He is also the founder of Pazimba, an e-commerce start-up business focusing on providing multiple retailers with a convenient platform to sell their goods online.
