By Jane Mlambo| Firebrand Norton legislator Temba Mliswa has dropped a bombshell claiming that white owned companies are receiving more foreign currency than indigenous firms, in what could hint at what is happening in the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe run forex auction system.

Mliswa made the revelations while rebutting Gokwe-Nembudziya legislator Justice Mayor Wadyajena for taking Manicaland provincial minister Dr Ellen Gwaradzimba to task over abuse of office.

Mliswa said Gwaradzimba was unprocedurally summoned to parliament when the question of who allocated land to her son should have been answered by lands ministry.

While defending Gwaradzimba, Mliswa said Zimbabwe had pertinent issues at stake which demanded attention including unfair allocation of foreign currency at the auction system.

” There are more pertinent issues at stake like why are the white owned companies receiving more forex than the indigenous ones & yet they purport to be earning forex?,” said Mliswa.

Zimbabwe has been running a ‘successful’ forex auction system which has gone to stabilise the exchange rate.

Mliswa’s claims if escalated have the potential to destabilise the system.
