Mugweni is reported to have stormed Tobacco giants in Mvurwi in company of a few district officials demanding to have his people employed on party ticket.
"The MP came to our companies with some party officials and demanded that we employ more than 800 of his people, in fear of victimization we gave in,"lamented the officials who spoke in confidentiality.

Efforts to contact Mugweni were fruitless as he blocked this reporter on calls and WhatsApp.
Meanwhile, there is tobacco in the industry in Mvurwi town with companies like Boka, Voedesel, SubSahara, Mashonaland Tobacco among others have since established floors in the farm town.
