Energy Minister Fortune Chasi has taken to the social media to try and clean himself after misleading the nation last week claiming that government had paid $10m to South African power producers Eskom.

Eskom quickly dismissed the minister’s claim leaving him exposed to the fury of Zimbabweans who attacked him for lying to the nation.

Chasi this morning published a proof of payment for the amount only generated yesterday, the 1st of July, a week after his sensational claim absolving himself from being termed a liar.

After showing off the payment, Chasi went further to indicate that the payment of the $10m out of $40m owing to Eskom will result in immediate removal of loadshedding.
