Parliament might soon look into businessman Wicknell Chivayo over election money problems. A Kwekwe activist asked lawmakers to check how Chivayo handled cash from a $100 million voting materials deal. Emmanuel Moyo sent his request to Speaker Jacob Mudenda, pointing to rules that let Parliament watch public money use.
South African money watchers have already raised concerns about possible crimes. Their report shows Chivayo got about $40 million from R1.2 billion paid to Ren-Form CC for Zimbabwe election supplies last year. He moved this money through many bank accounts very fast, making it hard to track.
The cash went toward fancy clothes, cars, houses, electronics, and trips abroad. Several major South African banks held these accounts which money passed. Moyo believes voters deserve answers about how tax money was spent on this contract. The papers he filed ask Parliament to start this work soon.
