@matinyarare " I WAS BLINDLY DEFENDING KT AFTER RECEIVING VAST AMOUNTS OF MONEY "

𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗫’𝗦 𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧 𝗧𝗔𝗚𝗪𝗥𝗘𝗜 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗘? I have been the biggest defender of Kuda Tagwirei ever since I met him and heard his side of the story in January 2022. I have even punted him as a suitable candidate for President, however yesterday, after listening to Knox, I have to say I had to reflect, because some of the allegations made make sense. 1. In January 2022, Tagwirei flew me to Harare for a meeting. We had a three-hour meeting in which he told me about himself—how he was busting sanctions, how he made his money in fuel, and how he reinvested the returns into rescuing government owned mines and banks affected by sanctions. In his account, he refuted the allegations made against him by Acie Lumumba and the preceding reports by Sentry, Africa Risk Consulting, and Citizen Maverick. He then paid me a retainer to write a PR proposal for him and articles setting the record straight. However, he asked me: (i) Not to write about the fact that he owned Akribos Capital, which holds shares in CBZ Holdings, Intermarket, ZB Bank, and Dokuma which is digitizing our title deeds. (ii) Not to write about his mining, construction, and contracting interests. (iii) That same day, he took me to a meeting with the President. 2. Soon after, I had a meeting with then-MP Temba Mliswa in Johannesburg, where I asked him what he knew about Kuda from the Parliamentary inquiries. 3. In response, Temba told me that Kuda was a criminal and that CIO Director-General, Isaac Moyo, had prepared docket on him, which had been handed to the ZRP for them to arrest Kuda on corruption charges. 4. He [Temba] then said that he had informed the President about the docket, and the President requested it from the ZRP and shortly thereafter issued an instruction for the ZRP and Moyo not to proceed against Kuda. This corroborates Knox’s claim on this issue. 5. In March 2022, after ZASM launched court case against Biden, OFAC, and South African banks in the Gauteng High Court, the South African Banking Association filed a responding affidavit outlining that corruption and money launder were their reason for implementing sanctions on Tagwirei and Sakunda. 6. They stated in their affidavit that, because of the serious allegations made by the U.S. OFAC against Kuda—which Kuda did not refute—they were obliged to insulate the South African financial system from proceeds of corruption or risk penalties, criminal prosecution, and potential removal from the global financial system for facilitating money laundering. 7. As you can imagine, I was upset that my client and “Zimbabwe’s biggest sanctionsbuster” was being accused of what I believed were false allegations by “white monopoly capital” to destroy a black entrepreneur. 8. I sent the affidavit to Kuda, and he promised to depose a responding affidavit rebutting the allegations. 9. For almost one and a half years, we struggled to obtain this responding affidavit from Kuda, until we were pressured by the courts to submit our responses or risk losing the case. 10. Our lawyers then drafted an affidavit, which I sent to Kuda for approval on the 13th of August 2023. 11. On the 14th of August 2023, Mr Chitambo, Sakunda’s CFO, and I had a telephonic conversation in which he stated that Sakunda did business with the government, so they needed security clearance as submitting such an affidavit to a foreign court could inadvertently disclose classified information. He then concluded by saying he would get back to me once they had clearance. 12. From August 2023 until sanctions were removed in March 2024, Sakunda continued to promise to return the signed affidavit rebutting the allegations made by OFAC and South African banks, but never did. So, after listening to Knox’s allegations about how Kuda allegedly stole government assets, I am left wondering why Sakunda was unwilling to depose affidavits to prove their innocence. More in my book which I will release soon.

I have learnt that locally we call these “Mabura”. Used to call them Mbambaira in Harare. We planted about a quarter Ha of these. Did you know: you can safely leave them in the ground and harvest as needed through out the year?

@zikhali_x @Techzim Gavhamende monopoly

@Techzim Yet 60 years later, we still have one channel 🤣

Zimbabwe launched the first television service in Southern Africa in 1960. It was only the second TV service in Sub-Saharan Africa. Nigeria launched theirs just one year prior. South Africa, the regional giant in media, followed sixteen years after Zimbabwe.

@matigary @edmnangagwa What if this is going to implicate some people high up in the echelons of power with the intention of exposing them or discrediting them or laÿ bare sufficient grounds to relieve them of their duties and remove public sympathy for the same? 99.9° political temperature

President @edmnangagwa has directed the release of the findings of the Uchena Commission on state land. This is in compliance with a December High Court order requiring government to release the findings of the Uchena Commission inquiry into state land deals. We will soon know which land barons were spinning what.

@HeraldZimbabwe There are reports on the streets that Zimsec failed to pay markers and T&S for ZRP members that were deployed at examination centre as security personnel in November 2025. Ichokwadi here?

I think one of the biggest problems among Zimbabweans is the desire to be told what we want to hear rather than what we need to hear, @a6826da71fb342f. The deeper issue is this, when Zimbabweans are confronted with uncomfortable truths, many respond with anger or insults instead of engaging with the substance of what is being said. That reaction does not change the facts, it only exposes a refusal to confront reality. Truth, even when it is inconvenient, is a tool. It allows you to plan, to think ahead, and to act strategically. Societies that progress are those that confront hard truths early and adjust accordingly, not those that silence or attack the messenger. Rejecting truth because it is uncomfortable does not change reality, it only leaves you unprepared for it.
