There’s no financial loss to Zimbabwe on that contract.

NONE AT ALL?

 

Not at all; there’s no financial loss. On the basis of the information that has been translated to us because of the nature that the contract was designed.

 

 

The contract was designed in such a way that a payment could only be affected upon advance delivery of drugs and medicines into Zimbabwe of the value that we would then pay; so drugs and medicines to the tune of 2 million were delivered.

 

 

And an amount of 2 million was paid. And I do not know where everyone who talks about a 60 million fraud, 50 million corruption, where they get the 60 million from. Right? So if someone illegally tries to sign a contract, why would someone then come and say there is a contract that has been the signed when the company is illegal and has been cancelled?

 

 

Why does it become part of a narrative? So government of Zimbabwe did sign a contract of 20 million illegally, and that is it, we have no other legal contract that we signed, so this amount of 60 million is a lie, we never ever at any given time as government of Zimbabwe had a valid contract worth 60 million with this particular supplier, never.
