He tweeted:<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the new board appointments of the #AAG whilst some are expected, yet others raise question due to their unsavoury personal reputations which have the propensity to tarnish such organisations. The perception becomes that they are just out to grab money from people.<\/p>\n<p>The Affirmative Action Group should be selective about who it appoints. With so many extortionist organisations around, we can\u2019t afford to suffer more.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m also interested in understanding their current purpose. When it was formed, there was a need to empower blacks; that has passed.<\/p>\n<p>So what is it they are really after now? We need to understand. People shouldn\u2019t fear those with a claim to AAG membership to give them money. An institution grows, and it grows beyond an individual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
