Cornered former Zanu PF Manicaland provincial youth leader
Mubuso Chinguno has reportedly fled to neighbouring South Africa to avoid
prosecution for abuse of over $400 000 party funds.
Party insiders said Chinguno sought refuge in South Africa,
as the net closed in on him following his suspension in October on allegations
of abusing money raised to service residential stands for Zanu PF activists in
Chipinge district.
“Just like any other person who was rallying behind the G40
cabal, he has decided to take refuge elsewhere and I am reliably informed that
he is in South Africa,” a Zanu PF youth said on condition of anonymity.
“He left the country because of the allegations of land
corruption in Chipinge and this has nothing to do with politics.
“He just assumed he was no longer safe and decided to flee
the country. I don’t think he will be back in the country very soon
because he is in a tight position.”
Zanu PF accuses Chinguno of siphoning money through a
private company, Causepun Investments, where he was a co-director with other
Zanu PF officials and their spouses.
Efforts to contact Chinguno were fruitless, as his mobile
phone was switched off, but Zanu PF Manicaland youth chairman Tawanda Mukodza
said they would continue pursuing the matter.
“As it was a party issue, we are going to look at the
matter and we want every young person to benefit from the land,” he said.
