Massive financial scam hits Mugabe's Zanu-PF

A financial scandal has hit Zanu-PF after it emerged this week that corporates were duped into de-positioning cash donations running into millions of dollars into a parallel 21st February Movement account for President Robert Mugabe's lavish birthday bush held in Victoria Falls a month ago.

Zanu-PF insiders say corporates deposited as much as US$6 million into the parallel account which cannot be accounted for.

However a group in the Youth League claims the figure could be as high as US$13 million, which is almost 20 times more than what was officially raised for the 21st February Movement.
