Mnangagwa's son sucked in business wrangle

Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa's son, Emmerson Junior has been sucked into a business wrangle that has seen BJ Petroleum director Brian Jembere and his company secretary John Tichaona Muhonde being prosecuted for fraud.

Yesterday Jembere and Muhonde applied to have the criminal charges against them referred to the ConCourt for possible squashing. The application was made before Mbare magistrate Stanley Mambanje.

According to the Newsday, the two face charges of conniving to steal shares from HER Pvt Ltd, a firm in which Jembere is said to be the major shareholder.

The duo claimed that the criminalization of what ought to have a civil dispute was deliberately done by the complainant with a view to rope in Mnangagwa's son into the petroleum business and eventually elbow out Jembere.
