By Own Correspondent| Following the embarrassing LIVE video shot by the exiled Professor Jonathan Moyo on Monday, the man he was filmed allegedly gossiping about while speaking with Robert Mugabe’s nephew, Patrick Zhuwao, Jealousy Mawarire has responded saying he never received money from Grace Mugabe.
In the video, which has revealed that the two were in Kenya on Monday (READ MORE), Jonathan Moyo is heard repeatedly speaking of a woman who donated money to buy 20,000 t shirts (for the NPF party), while also talking about someone he labels an old person, “muchembere.” Traditionally in Shona, a mother figure is called by the term muchembere, analysts said.
Assumptions were then made on forums that the person referred to as the donor is the former First Lady.
But Mawarire speaking to ZimEye rubbished this. He said, “I don’t have to account anything because Dr Amai never gave me money for t-shirts or any other thing for that matter.
“She has not donated anything to NPF and it’s grossly unfair to drag her into the nonsense that Jonathan and Patrick were saying. I have said it over and over that the t-shirts were paid for directly by a corporate good Samaritan resident in South Africa from his SA account into the account of printers in the same country.
“The corporate good Samaritan also takes care of all the logistics of transporting the t-shirts, identifying and paying the transporters.
“It is his money and he is under no obligation to account for how it was used to the two fugitives who were embarrassingly caught live while gossiping on their way to a restaurant on foot.”
