Pastor Evan Mawarire of the #ThisFlag movement has boosted that he advised Africa's richest man Aliko Dangote not to invest in Zimbabwe as President Robert Mugabe's ministers would loot the money.
Mawarire is currently in New York staggering a series of anti-Mugabe protests with other Zimbabweans.
He took to micro-blogging site twitter to make the revelation.
"The madness that our Govt has become. Cant make rational economic decisions..& then some1 says #ThisFlag must keep mum abt corruption? Never
He posted a selfie of himself and Dangote.
A year ago, Dangote, Africa's richest man with a net worth of $17,2 billion according to Forbes Magazine, flew into the country where he met a number of ministers, winding up after meeting with Mugabe at State House.
Dangote is worth more than Zimbabwe's annual gross domestic product, which stands at about $13.66 billion and about five times the country's paltry $4 billion annual budget.
The Nigeria Stock Exchange-listed Dangote conglomerate said it intended to set up a cement manufacturing plant that will produce at least 1.5 million metric tonnes per year, with large sums of money destined for power generation and coal mining.
But a year after issuing the Dangote Group with licences for three projects worth $1.2 billion to start implementing business deals agreed to with the government.
