Side Electrical (Pvt) Ltd. T/A Botha Gold Mine, a reputable gold mining company, duly constituted by the laws of Zimbabwe, wishes to inform the public and all stakeholders that the fraudulent court orders, HCH4802/24 and HCH4255/24, obtained by a certain band of rebel minority shareholders has been rescinded by Judge Msithu under HCH5865/24. This development nullifies any claims or actions taken pursuant to the fraudulent order.

In light of this, we hereby notify the public that the miscreant minority shareholders, who
recently attempted to illegitimately seize control of the company, are not directors and do not represent Side Electrical (Pvt) Ltd. or Botha Gold Mine in any platform. The public is warned.

For the avoidance of doubt, all those concerned, be advised that the following individuals are not directors or representatives of Botha Gold Mine. The persons are as follows:

Munyaradzi Nzarayapenga
Leonard Rwambiwa
Dudzai Ruzvidzo Kajokoto
Ashley Ziyarura Zulu
Simbarashe Nzenza
Tendai Chinyani

We have reported the fraudulent acts to the Zimbabwe Republic Police, who will be taking the appropriate action.

Furthermore, the alleged suspensions mischievously issued in connection with the fraudulent court order remain null and void.

The Executive Management team, led by General Manager Mrs. Angela Mpofu-Chisvo, remains in place and continues to manage the affairs of Botha Gold Mine.

We take this opportunity to sincerely apologise to all innocent individuals who may have been maliciously slandered during this debacle. We particularly apologise to Mr. Themba Hlongwani and Mrs. Angela Mpofu-Chisvo, who were wrongly accused of misappropriating funds and concealing information as part of the decoy that was created by the fraudsters in order to gain credence in the public domain.

We put the record straight that no such incident occurred, and the malicious accusations were perpetrated by devious minority shareholders in a bid to illegitimately acquire control of the company.

Please be further warned that Botha Gold Mine will not recognise or honour any agreements, contracts, or transactions entered into with the aforementioned individuals.

Furthermore, the company totally disassociates itself from any dealings, actions, or representations made by these individuals or anyone claiming to act on their behalf, outside of the authorised Executive Management structure. The public is warned to exercise caution and not engage in any business transactions with these individuals, as Botha Gold Mine will not be held liable for any consequences arising from such dealings.

Botha Gold Mine remains committed to operating with transparency, integrity, and
accountability. We appreciate the support and understanding of our stakeholders during this challenging period.
