Just added to our archives- Lorac- was First Lady involved?

Zimbabwe has always tried to promote indigenous business people. But in some cases the establishment has taken advantage and abused the system. Some have used political patronage to boost their businesses and swindle the government and state-owned companies. One such company was M &C Group and it got away with it because it had reportedly established close links with former President Canaan Banana, the late First Lady Sally Mugabe and several government ministers. Here is a report on the Kudenga Commission that was tasked to investigate the company that we published 19 years ago. We have 330 other stories in our archives that have not been published on the front page.
