It is very difficult to convince anyone that the Global Alliance for Zimbabwe, formed by Movement for Democratic Change treasurer-general Roy Bennett to raise campaign funds for the country’s main opposition and registered in Washington DC, did not do so because it had a powerful, high profile board and roped in the best American lobbyists.
Though The Insider could not establish the full board because the GAZ website had been pulled down mid-way through this story, Bennett was listed as the chairman.
His profile read: “Better known as ‘Pachedu’ (‘between us’) by the Zimbabwean people, Roy Bennett is a third generation Zimbabwean and the current treasurer general for the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). Despite intimidation waged against voters by ZANU-PF, Roy was elected to the Zimbabwean Parliament in 2000 where he served the Chimanimani region.

Bennett’s deputy was listed as: Honorable Larry LaRocco.
