Kasukuwere's sister fails to pay back $3 000 loan

Embattled local government minister Saviour Kasukuwere's sister, Dadirayi has failed to pay back a loan of $3 000 she received in 2012.

According to NewsDay, the issue was revealed when the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Youth and Indigenisation visited youth projects in Mount Darwin.

Mount Darwin youth development officer Linia Matara told the committee that Dadirayi took the $3 000 youth fund loan to start a cement business.

"She got $3 000 in 2012, but she did not repay anything to the bank, but we have been contacting her and asking her to pay back, but she has not done anything," Matara said.

"She claimed she was operating a hardware shop and was selling cement and the project went on for four years and stopped."

Marara also told the MPs from the committee that visited Bindura and Mount Darwin projects that when she told Dadirai to avail herself to show the MPs her project, she excused herself saying she was attending a funeral.

Dadirayi's cement project was also visited, but MPs only found an empty space without a single bag of cement at a car park outside a surgery belonging to her husband.
