By Business Reporter| The South Africa based former banker Mutumwa Mawere threw a shocker Tuesday night when he annunced he never ran anything in Zimbabwe, no mine, no bank as reported for 2 decades running to date.
The claim comes against the backdrop of over 20 years of public reportage including even parliamentary debates over what was clearly labeled Mawere’s business interests in Zimbabwe.
Even icons like the late deputy mines minister Chindori Chininga introduced Mawere as a mine owner as documented in official parliamentary hansards, and the man (Mawere) never disputed it.
Other top politicians like Norton MP Temba Mliswa maintain saying Mawere is a direct beneficiary of Emmerson Mnangagwa’s.
But Mawere last night blast out to announce he never ran either a mine or a bank while in Zimbabwe. He was responding to allegations of being a beneficiary of ZANU PF patronage.
He said all this while on the other hand revealing he was once appointed to head a team to investigate alleged financial misconduct by Econet Wireless founder, Strive Masiyiwa nearly 20 years ago. He said he was appointed by former Finance Minister Herbert Murerwa.
He said he has received “a lot of credit for things” he has never done.
