MDC-T Organising Secretary, Nelson Chamisa, has dismissed floating rumours on social networks to the effect that he has a special and privileged business relationship with Robert Mugabe's wife, Grace who it is said he supplied Gushungo Dairy with all its transport logistics, the Zimeye reported.
Reports claimed Chamisa has a fleet of 45 haulage trucks that he allegedly imported while still ICT minister. The reports also claimed he did not pay import duty for the trucks.
But Chamisa has fired back at the reports challenging those peddling the rumours to step forward with the evidence.
"This is coming from desperate people. I hear there are reports, that Chamisa has gone to such and such a country in the Diaspora to renovate his house and a lot of unsubstantiated claims. Some of them saying Chamisa is importing some haulage trucks and is appealing for a tax relief.
"You think Mugabe will be foolish to award a tender to an MDC official when in his party there are millions of business people who could get such a tender?"
Chamisa said the trucks which do business at Gushungo farms are very visible and can be verified by simply taking the number plates and getting a confirmation from the CVR.
Chamisa claims he is being persecuted for standing firm in defense of his party President Mr Morgan Tsvangirai.
"I know where it is coming from and the reason is that I have stood firm in defense of our Party President Morgan Tsvangirai. I have done so not because I love him but for the defense of the struggle which we started and is yet to be completed."
