*From Criminals Surrounding the Presidency to Criminals Occupying the Presidency: Meet the Mnangagwas, Zimbabwe's New BSAC*

By Tafadzwa Munjanja

*How does a 22 year old side chick of President Mnangagwa's son own properties worth 10 million US dollars?*

Fellow Zimbabweans, this is a question lingering in the minds of all right thinking citizens. This past week, Collins Mnangagwa's 22 year old mistress, Kelsea Tafirenyika, was re arrested shortly after her release from remand prison. On top of charges relating to dealing in dangerous drugs, Mnangagwa's daughter in law is facing charges of money laundering involving more than 10 million US dollars.

Yes, dear reader, you heard correctly. 10 million US dollars for a 22 year old whose only qualification is being a mistress to one of Mnangagwa's twin sons.

The infighting, accusations, and counter accusations between the Mnangagwas, as epitomised by the First Lady Auxilia Mnangagwa and her estranged daughter in law Kelsea, have opened a can of worms on how the Mnangagwas are looting the country dry.

*The Mnangagwas, Zimbabwe's New BSAC!*

In 1889, a British imperialist, Cecil John Rhodes, secured the Royal Charter, a document that entitled him and his company, the British South Africa Company (BSAC), to have direct control of the land north of the Limpopo on behalf of the British Crown.

The company, which had a Loot Committee, committed what some historians termed a colossal stroke of thievery or a stock exchange swindle. They controlled millions of acres of land, minerals, and mining rights, on top of a large herd of cattle looted from Africans.

Company rule in Southern Rhodesia was marked by capitalistic extraction, looting, forced labour, and exploitation of Africans.

Forty-six years after independence, Zimbabwe is faced with a similar situation in the form of Mnangagwa's so-called Second Republic. After removing Robert Mugabe via a coup in 2017, Mnangagwa's coup plotters told the nation that they were targeting criminals surrounding the Presidency.

Ironically, Mnangagwa, his family, and his inner circle of cartels like Wicknell Chivhayo and Kudakwashe Tagwirei, who are now running the show, have proved to be the real criminals occupying the President's Office.

Named by Al Jazeera's Gold Mafia documentary as the kingpin of gold smuggling and money laundering, Mnangagwa has proved to be the archbishop of corruption and looting in this country.

We are in trouble, fellow Zimbabweans, if we do not act now. We must stop Mnangagwa before he turns our country into a personal property like what Rhodes did with BSAC.

Zimbabwean music legend Thomas Mapfumo has accepted an offer to perform two concerts in Zimbabwe for US$1 million, funded by controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo.

Mapfumo said the money was payment for work, insinuating that he was not receiving it for free but was being compensated for providing a service through the two performances.

You created this mess on a 5 year term and now you want a 7 year one. Do you want to kill everyone? #NoTo2030

[Dominic Nyakudya @VaNyakudya]

A Rolls Royce for me and a bike for you. This is what we are rejecting by rejecting amendment of the constitution. We cannot have more years of this nonsense.

[Bla B @bla_bidza]

This profile that purports to be that of the President of Zimbabwe describes Wicknell Chivayo as "an astute and maverick young businessman" who donated ambulances. But what we know is that these ambulances are part of Japan's Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP) in partnerships with UN Agencies and the WHO. All African governments are receiving them under an aid programme.

RETWEET THIS FOR THE WORLD TO SEE

This is an official support letter from the Zimbabwean Ministry of Finance, dated 24 March 2025, addressed to the Managing Director of Ecobank Zimbabwe.
It is signed by George Guvamatanga, who is the Permanent Secretary for Finance and the heart of the corruption engine under Mnangagwa’s corrupt regime.

The letter confirms that the Ministry of Finance has recorded a legacy debt of
US$191,578,835 million owed by Valley Seeds (Private) Limited which is run by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s nephew, Temba Nkatazo.

Ecobank Zimbabwe has agreed to discount up to US$20 million of this amount under a 12 month term loan facility.
The Ministry guaranteed the repayment and undertook to reduce the legacy debt by US$5 million monthly through Valley Seeds’ account.

In the event of any payment delays, Ecobank is authorised to directly debit up to US$5 million from a Ministry of Finance account held at the bank.
These are public funds that are being used to pay a debt owed by a private company.

This letter places a public guarantee on a private company’s debt, committing government resources (i.e. public funds) to back a commercial loan facility for Valley Seeds.
This is highly controversial in public finance terms because it tied state funds to a private company without clear public accountability, which is an undeniable act of corruption and cronyism, especially considering the large figures involved and the government’s economic struggles.

This also raises serious concerns about transparency, as there is no explanation at all of how Valley Seeds was selected, what public benefit the deal serves, all know is that it is run by Mnangagwa’s nephew and that it was used to loot public funds during Command Agriculture days.

This is an act of cronyism and state capture, particularly because the company has political ties. The structure put in place by Guvamatanga bypasses parliamentary oversight and violates public finance principles by committing future government revenues to a private debt servicing at a rate of US$5 million per month.

In a country facing a catastrophic healthcare crisis, underpaid civil servants, and failing infrastructure, such a public finance financial burden is reckless, corrupt and unsustainable.

It also undermines the integrity of the banking system by encouraging politically motivated lending and shielding private entities from accountability, making this a glaring example of the misuse of public funds for private gain.

This letter is written by a man who used to be CEO of Barclays Bank, it is staggering!
He is doing this for the President’s cronies because they are accountable to nobody except the corruption mafia Godfather himself, Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Now why Valley Seeds? We know that Temba Nkatazo is the CEO of this company and that he is Mnangagwa’s nephew.
Valley Seeds, under Nkatazo’s leadership, was a huge player in the corrupt Command Agriculture program which was driven by Mnangagwa.
It has many allegations of mismanagement and corruption, billions were looted through it.

Former Finance Minister Tendai Biti highlighted that companies like Valley Seeds invoiced the government without providing proof of seed deliveries.

A 2023 parliamentary probe found no credible evidence to justify the debts claimed by such companies.
Biti questioned how the government ended up owing nearly US$200 million to Valley Seeds, suggesting that the debts might not be genuine and pointing to a pattern of financial impropriety in the programme.

Nkatazo was also listed among the beneficiaries of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe’s Farm Mechanisation Scheme, receiving a loan of US$323,329.
This was published in a report by the later Dr Alex Magaisa which exposed how the bank was looted by ZANUPF.

If Valley Seeds doesn’t pay this money, it is YOU the taxpayer who will pay it! More to come!

Great initiative by #GreatmanMusic. RETWEET and help him reach as many people as possible!

You know what, my people? A retweet costs you nothing. And when you see somebody who is disabled, like Great Man, pushing this initiative, it should shame us who are able-bodied that we are not able to assist those who are disabled.

The least we can do is to RETWEET so that those who have the heart to help can actually support this cause.

So I ask you again, please RETWEET this initiative that Great Man, who is disabled, has started to assist people like him who are disabled.
It costs you nothing at all as a Zimbabwean or an African to simply RETWEET, or as any other nationality.
