Chairman of the Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe (GMAZ), Tafadzwa Musarara has refuted allegations made against him by ZANU PF Youth League leaders, that he was diverting maize meal to the black market resulting in the shortage of the product on the formal market.

 The Zanu-PF Youth League on Monday made a number of allegations against senior business people and party officials over corruption.

Responding to the allegations in a statement seen by Great Dyke News 24, Musarara labeled the utterances as false, malicious and defamatory.

Musarara says he has since instructed his legal practitioners to institute legal proceedings against Lewis Matutu and Godfrey Tsenengamu saying they violated his rights.

“On Monday 3rd February 2020, Godfrey Tsenengamu and Lewis Matutu held a press conference in Harare whereat they made allegations that I am a corrupt businessman who is engaging in unethical business practices.

“They said I am working with a clique of white people to divert maize meal to the black market and consequently that I am responsible for the current shortage of maize meal in the shops. It was suggested that I have abused the government subsidy programme on maize meal.

“The statement is false, malicious and defamatory. I, as an individual or through my company, have not participated in the subsidy programme.

“It is common cause that the country is presently experiencing a shortage of maize induced by drought. I am working, through Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe, on a private sector initiative to augment Government efforts in the importation of maize,” he said.

He also said that the brands produced by his company are not available on the black market adding that he is working to ensure that the current shortages are addressed.

“Contrary to the suggestion that I am responsible for the shortage of maize meal, I am working to ensure that the current shortages are addressed. I must point out that the brands produced by my company are not available on the black market.

“Given the irresponsible statements that have been issued which as I have said above are false, malicious and defamatory, I have instructed my legal practitioners to institute legal proceedings against the 2 gentlemen to vindicate my rights,” said Musarara.
