Businessman Frank Buyanga is not a ZAOGA reverend as he
claims. Buyanga attends the ZAOGA Forward in Faith Ministries
founded by Ezekiel Guti, where he is known for donating lavishly and has the
church title of “elder” despite his relative youth.
The Standard reports that church officials said Buyanga’s
apparent misrepresentation had gone uncorrected because of fears he would turn
off the taps to his fortune.
So afraid of the millionaire businessman’s wrath, the church
officials were giving an off-the-record briefing in response to an e-mailed
request for official comment. Asked if Buyanga was a reverend, a church
official responded matter-of-factly: “No.”
After six years in self-imposed exile, Buyanga returned to
Zimbabwe in late August to witness the inauguration of President Emmerson
Mnangagwa. Buyanga, once described as a loan shark and hounded out of Zimbabwe
after senior Zanu PF leaders failed to repay huge loans they had taken from his
Hamilton Finance micro-lending company, was recently a judge for the Miss World
Zimbabwe finals.
