Mines and Energy portfolio committee chairperson Temba Mliswa has said Parliament will pressure the Zimbabwe Power Company to stop buying coal from Zanu-PF administration secretary Obert Mpofu's Makomo Resources.
Makomo Resources is the largest privately-owned coal producer in Zimbabwe and supplies power stations as well as industrial and agricultural sectors.
This comes after the burly former Home Affairs minister - who lost his ministerial post and has since been re-assigned to the Zanu-PF headquarters - clashed in angry scenes with Mliswa during the 8th Parliament, and vowed never to appear before the portfolio committee to answer any questions relating to the missing $15 billion revenue from the gem-rich Chiadzwa diamond fields as long as Mliswa was presiding over the emotive issue - also suggesting damagingly that the garrulous Norton legislator had at some point sought a bribe from him.
