Obert Mpofu washes his hands

Transport minister Obert Mpofu has washed his hands in the ongoing probe of the Marange-Zimunya Share Ownership Trust telling the Parliamentary Portfolio committee on Youth and Indigenisation that he was not involved in the negotiations for the deal.

Mpofu, a former Mines minister, said all negotiations to do with community share ownership trusts, and in particular the Marange-Zimunya one, were handled by the Ministry of Youth, Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment.

He said this yesterday while appearing before the Parliamentary Portfolio committee on Youth and Indigenisation chaired by Gokwe-Nembudziya MP Justice Mayor Wadyajena.
