Nelson Chamisa, former leader of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), has finally broken his silence on the explosive allegations that he received a $20 million bribe from President Emmerson Mnangagwa to tone down his opposition. Journalist Jealousy Mawarire sparked controversy by claiming Chamisa cut a secret deal with Mnangagwa, allegedly through the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ).
Mawarire shared details of the alleged deal on social media, stating, “What’s insulting about my post, and why are you bringing Chamisa into this? Do you want me to tell you more about ED and Chamisa’s RBZ $20m transaction? Mobva matanga kupopota futi.”
He further claimed the shady exchange occurred in the RBZ basement parking area, with cash handed over in travelers’ bags. Mawarire added, “RBZ basement parking was the rendezvous, cash was the mode of payment, travellers’ bags the packaging and holding opposition off ED criticism was the deliverable.”
Pressed to back his claims with evidence ,Mawarire dodged the question , arguing that illigal deals dont come with receipts.
“I just told you the transaction was between ED and Chamisa, but you don’t want to hear it, do you? Then unoda receipt yemari yehuori,paunotenga mbanjedzako wakambopiwa receipt?” he asked.
When questioned about the allegations, Chamisa responded philosophically, neither confirming nor denying the claim. He said, “Wise creatures never accept a pig’s invitation to a muddy fight. Truth needs no lawyer. Truth defends itself. Truth stands the test of time.” This response has sparked intense debate online, with Chamisa’s supporters demanding clarity on the matter.
