Zimbabwe Vice President Constantino Chiwenga rejected any connection to a business gathering advertised on social media platforms. The promotional materials featured his name alongside President Emmerson Mnangagwa as guest speakers for the Matabeleland Business Dinner. Rainbow Hotel in Bulawayo was listed as the venue for the July 25, 2025 event. Several government officials appeared on the advertised program alongside businessman Kuda Tagwirei. Social media users questioned why actual business leaders were absent from the speaker lineup.
Chiwenga released an official statement denouncing the event as fraudulent and unauthorized. His office emphasized complete disconnection from the dinner and condemned organizers for protocol violations. The Vice President characterized the promotion as a scheme targeting unsuspecting citizens through false government association. He warned Zimbabweans against falling victim to the misrepresentation of official names. Government protocols prohibit such unauthorized use of leadership positions for private events.
