By Crime and Courts Reporter- The daughter of Defence Minister Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri, Tanya Rozina Rushesha, has been arrested. 

The 35-year-old Tanya was arrested on Friday on allegations of selling bulk fuel on the black market.

Tanya is accused of approaching,

“these business owners claiming to sell bulk fuel and convinced them to place large orders after giving her substantial payments. However, she has completely failed to deliver any of the promised fuel,” according to police sources.

However ZimEye reveals that there is a dramatic conflict that’s erupted between Tanya, and Tariro, daughter of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, over a contentious disagreement in their shared fuel business. The clash has resulted in Tanya’s arrest, with police accusing her of fraud, ZimEye sources state.

Tariro, who operates a fuel joint, is at the center of this high-stakes drama in an incident hints at a larger pattern of conflicts involving Mnangagwa’s children and their interactions with both relatives and the general public. The unfolding saga continues to captivate the nation’s attention, highlighting the intense rivalries within Zimbabwe’s political elite. The arrest marks the second time in 2024 that the child of a Cabinet Minister has been taken into custody.

In May, Neville Mutsvangwa, the son of Women’s Affairs Minister Monica Mutsvangwa, was arrested on charges of illegal currency dealing.

Neville and his two alleged accomplices spent nearly a month in remand prison before securing bail.

Following Neville’s arrest, Monica claimed that the arrest was “politically motivated” and accused Vice President Constantino Chiwenga of instigating the arrest.
