With this picture developing of Zimbabwe’s politics under Zanu pf, can we honestly fault US president Donal Trump for reportedly saying African countries are ‘Sh*thole countries,..Im just saying!
Under the new president Emmerson Mnangagwa Zanu pf as always continues to always be a business empire as slowly becoming clear to the public again .
Mnangagwa’s sister’s son, Martin Rushwaya is Zimbabwe’s Secretary for Defence while his oldest son Emmerson Junior, along with his nephew Tongai are preparing to join politics and run for National Assembly seats in the harmonised polls of 2018.
Mnangagwa’s son in law Gerald Mlotshwa studied to be a lawyer in the UK and came back to Zimbabwe to found Titan Law which focuses on corporate law. As a lawyer he has had some high profile clients, the most interesting of which is former Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko. Mlotshwa’s Titan Law represents Mphoko.
.For some who don’t really follow politics, let me briefly explain why that’s a fun little bit of information. Former Vice President Mphoko was aligned with the G40 faction of Zanu PF which ousted now President Mnangagwa from the party at one point. Mnangagwa eventually became party president and Mphoko fled the country, or more accurately, just did not return as he was out of the country when the whole coup-not-coup event happened.
Mlotshwa’s business interests
As mentioned above, he is the founder of Titan Law. He also happens to have 40% shareholding in Telecel. You may know that the government now owns 60% of Telecel and the 40% was owned by the Empowerment Corporation (EC). Shareholding issues have plagued the EC but Mlotshwa eventually emerged as the sole beneficiary of the 40% stake in Telecel.
Mlotshwa was recently in the news again when he acquired a 50% shareholding in Dr Dish and is set to take on the role of chairman in the company. You should know Dr Dish by now, they partnered with Econet Media (Kwese) and were essentially the reason Kwese was able to air in Zimbabwe. Dr Dish has a broadcasting licence which Kwese utilized until their contract termination late in 2017.
The Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe recently invited applications for broadcasting licences and Kwese applied for their own. Dr Dish however is not doomed just because they parted ways with Kwese. Dr Dish is gearing up to be taking on Kwese and are set to partner a local telecommunications company, some churches and even SABC to offer a compelling alternative to Kwese. Said the Dr Dish CEO,
We are in advanced talks with a local Telco to rollout “Television everywhere” for all our various Satellite products via a Mobile Application
Dr Dish’s CEO did not reveal which telecommunications company they will be partnering but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out or at least make an informed guess. You can bet your liver and both your kidneys that the local telco is not Econet. That leaves Netone and Telecel (the partner is for mobile so it has to be an MNO). DISCUSS!
