Khupe challenges Chamisa to declare his assets- claims he has benefitted from deals with both Mugabe and Mnangagwa

Although she did not mention her main rival Chamisa by name all the above incidents relate to Chamisa. There have been allegations, which Chamisa has denied, that he has joined hands with former President Robert Mugabe and might make his wife his deputy.

Two of the G40 kingpins, Mugabe’s nephew Patrick Zhuwao and Jonathan Moyo, have publicly endorsed Chamisa and at one time asked the leader of the National Patriotic Front, Ambrose Mutinhiri not to contest as president and endorse Chamisa instead but he refused.

The NPF was formed by former G40 members and Mugabe even posed for a photo with Mutinhiri and party spokesman Jealousy Mawarire.

Khupe went on: “The only difference is that some of us do not believe in casting aspersions on others.

“The direct beneficiaries of the past and present system are known by all.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Thokozani Khupe even in her private dealings has not had business deals with both the past and present regime.

“I am happy to declare publicly my business deals which are limited to a small plot in Bubi, which is my family home.

“Perhaps it is time all the 23 candidates were asked to declare their assets and business deals so we can tell who indeed has worked both privately and publicly with the past and present regime,” she said.
