Ginimbi has said that former First Lady Grace Mugabe
protected Wicknell Chivayo from protection.
He said this in court as he fought a fraud charge and
applied for a discharge. Chivayo has since been discharged.
“I learnt of the matter in 2014 after I was accused of
having a hand in defrauding Dexter Nduna and the Gatawas of their money but I
was just a victim like. All I did was
pay an equivalent of R500 000 to Danyar Kabwebwe who later deposited the money
for the purchase of gas for my company.
“I never had business dealings with Chivayo before as we
were only friends when it came to our partying lives. I learnt of his
involvement in the matter after Kabwebwe told me that she had gotten money from
him and I have evidence from Chivayo in the form of phone recordings where he
confesses of having a hand in the offence.
“When I got arrested I tried to assist the investigating
officers to get to the bottom of the issue by giving them the evidence that I
had but at that time Chivayo was untouchable because the then first lady (Grace
Mugabe”was protecting him.
“I even went to the former first lady to try and get
Chivayo arrested but apparently he was untouchable and it was to no avail.
“I paid the Gatawa’s money not because I was hiding or
accepting that I had defrauded anyone but because I did not want to waste my
time going to court and I also have a reputation to protect and one can always
get more money,” he said.
The matter has been rolled over to November 30 for
judgment.
