The report also stated that the Zimbabwe Miners Federation president, Henrietta Rushwaya, was a niece of Gogo Mary Rushwaya.
Mnangagwa has been criticised for appointing his relatives, clansmen and “cronies’ to key government positions since his re-election for his second and final term in elections held last month.
He appointed his son, Kudakwashe David, as the Deputy Finance Minister as well as his nephew, Tongai, as the Deputy Tourism Minister.
