Zimbabweans are still recovering from seeing Kuda Tagwirei’s US$6.5 million fleet of cars, not realising that absent from the display was a custom Wraith and Cullinan, which would have taken the spectacle to US$8 million.


Interesting for me is that most of those cars were bought in the last four years since the President got his son Junior to commission us to work with Kuda to fight sanctions.


In those four years, Kuda gave ZASM a fraction of the cost of just one of his Mercedes Brabus 4x6 trucks, which we deployed entirely into the case against Biden in South African courts, lobbying international lawyers and the South African government to champion the fight against sanctions, ensuring that the ANC government supported any electoral outcome in Zimbabwe to counter the opposition’s rigging of elections through sanctions, and getting the U.S. Congress to conduct a human rights impact assessment that resulted in the same Congress that had called for sanctions through ZDERA, writing a report asking Biden to remove them because they were hurting civilians.


Despite our handler buying cars, we struggled to secure the remainder of the legal fees for our lawyers, to the extent that we still owe them a significant amount today. In frustration, I reported to Junior, who told me that his family was not the issue but that β€œKuda was my ticket”.


I even went as far as approaching CIO DG Moyo, who in turn wrote a report to the President. The response returned saying that the President had tasked Kuda to deal with us. Then, one of the DG’s handlers, feeling my frustration, finally confided in me and told me that he had heard Kuda had been given the money.


Nevertheless, despite the shortfall in legal costs, the effectiveness of our campaign led to the removal of sanctions within two years of our commissioning.


Now, having endured hardship in the sanctions trenches for seven years β€” my business being blacklisted by white corporates in South Africa and my social media accounts shadow-banned by U.S. social media for promoting Zimbabwe while fighting U.S. policy β€” I was desperate to be compensated for the years of hard work.


I also requested a portion of the remuneration in agricultural land and land on which to build a house. I was assured that it was being organised. However, when I asked for support for my mining, fertiliser, and PR businesses, the doors remained shut.


Many people are only now beginning to see just how wealthy Kuda and those around the President have become in a sea of poverty. But those of us who have worked closely with them already knew, and we know that they make this wealth by getting paid for services rendered to government.


This is why, when we were tasked by the President to remove sanctions β€” work that has now generated tens of billions of dollars for the economy β€” we expected to be remunerated like those around the President, once we succeeded. We were not expecting handouts, but compensation for a job well-done, and if there was no money, Treasury Bills given to others for their work would do.


So why would a President and his advisers, who displayed the obscene opulence we saw yesterday, not pay for such a good job? The only assumption is that they do not want to pay because they believe that only the Parallel Government should be rewarded for working, while the rest of us must slave for them and remain hungry so that we continue doing their dirty work.


I am not the first or only person to be treated this way. Hundreds have come before me and many will come after, because our leaders have become like the white slave master. They exploit and accumulate the wealth generated from others sweat. This is known as primitive accumulation, the foundation of the wealth generated by capitalism, slavery and colonialism.


Many people have been engaged, presented their proposals to the President, only for one in his circle to steal the idea, run with it, and get rich. People have invested in mines, only for members of the clan to come and take them by force or through Ziyambi’s courts.


Munyaradzi Kereke founded Arundel Hospital, but today he languishes in prison and Tagwirei now owns it. Yesterday’s wedding was the royal clan/Parallel Cabinet showing the periphery (us the masses), which they have exploited and left behind, the middle finger. Vari kuti muno tiita sei?


Do you now see why I can’t support CAB3?
