Kasukuwere warns Tongaat

Empowerment Minister Saviour Kasukuwere has given South African sugar company Tongaat Hulett until July to rectify its ownership of its Zimbabwe operations. The company owns Triangle and has a stake in Hippo Valley. “Tongaat Hulett is a major cause for concern. They don’t respect the laws of the country and that is unfortunate. Come July, they will not be planting cane in Zimbabwe, maybe they will be in Durban. Those who don’t want to comply must pack and go. They are a big company, it is fair they respect the laws of the land. We are not against their investment, but their bad attitude…….Any company defying us is saying ZANU-PF must go to hell. Some companies are doing it for political purposes. They have a regime change agenda. They think the bid to remove ZANU PF from power will succeed. But there is no regime change, if you think MDC will win, forget it. If you are thinking there is an electoral upset for Mugabe, you are lost.”
