The Silvester Nguni Wikileaks cables

Silvester Nguni was a rising star in business after he turned around the Common Marketing Board to one of the biggest public companies listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange. That was until he entered politics. He is now parked as Minister of State in Vice-President Joice Mujuru’s Office, though he had promised that he could turn around the country’s agriculture in six months if he was appointed minister of that portfolio. There are nine cables on him. Here they are.
