Mnangagwa Is Not Fulfilling Promise Of New Zimbabwe: ED's Alleged Business Partner Peter Hain Condemns Biti's Treatment

President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s alleged business partner Peter Hain has condemned the treatment of MDC Alliance principal Tendai Biti.

Speaking on Twitter, Hain said given the treatment of the opposition in the past week, Mnangagwa is not fulfilling his promise of a new Zimbabwe. Said Hain:

Treatment of Tendai Biti is terrible and oppressive: with army killings last week and police forced dispersal of journalists at MDC press conference Emmerson Mnangagwa is not fulfilling his promise of new Zimbabwe era.

Hain denies any business relationship with Mnangagwa but Mail & Guardian’s Simon Allison argues Hain has dealings with Mnangagwa through South African businessman Zunaid Moti who owns the Moti Group. Mnangagwa, his deputy Constantino Chiwenga and the Zimbabwe Defence Forces are believed to have facilitated the Moti Group to set up the African Chrome Fields (ACF) in the Midlands town, Kwekwe.
