Whilst it makes for interesting reading, it falls short
of absolute indictments of individuals, particularly,
Obert Mpofu. It unfortunately reads like a laundry
list of barely substantiated rumours that have been
doing the rounds for years. It seems the writers’
intention is to agitate the individuals, get them to
sue the writers and thereby force the accused to
disprove the claims on public record. This strategy
is currently being used by Core mining in their case
against the Minister where in a trial within a trial
they claim they paid the Minister a bribe of
$10million to ensure their mining rights and
partnership with the ZMDC. This partnership was
dissolved by the Minister under unclear
circumstances. The cases are both before the
courts with no resolution on the horizon.
