Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Deputy Minister of Youth, Sport, Art and Recreation Tinoda Machakarika, (ZANU PF), has splashed US$770 000 \u2013 including shipping and import duty \u2013 on a Rolls Royce Phantom, ZimLive reported.<\/p>\n

Machakarika, also referred to as Tinomudaishe Machakaire (39), reportedly paid GVE London \u00a3330,000 for the luxury car and \u00a330 000 for shipping \u2013 about US$495 800 in total.<\/p>\n

GVE London posted videos on social media confirming that it had shipped the car to a Zimbabwean minister, but the company did not name Machakaire.<\/p>\n

However, ZimLive reported multiple sources as having identified Machakaire as the owner of the expensive car.<\/p>\n

Another source at the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) estimated duty on the vehicle would be in the region of U$275 000, pushing Machakaire\u2019s total bill to just over US$770 000.<\/p>\n

Machakaire\u2019s transport and logistics company, TinMac Motors also reportedly acquired a new fleet of haulage trucks recently.<\/p>\n

Machakaire, who represents Wedza South in the National Assembly, is related to Kudakwashe Tagwirei, the millionaire petroleum oligarch who owns Sakunda Holdings.<\/p>\n

His company TinMac Motors won huge tenders to move farming equipment and other implements under the US$3 billion Command Agriculture scheme.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sakunda Holdings carried out all procurement under Command Agriculture, a scheme which a parliamentary committee concluded was carried out without any accountability.<\/p>\n

Britain\u2019s Liberal Democrats party has demanded an inquiry into how ZANU PF elites are moving large sums of money through the United Kingdom\u2019s financial system to fund their lavish lifestyles.<\/p>\n

Lord Oates, the Co-Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Zimbabwe, wrote on Twitter:<\/p>\n

I am horrified by this and will be asking what the due diligence rules are to prevent this from happening.<\/p>\n

It is appalling to see Zimbabwean ministers behave like this when there is so much need in Zimbabwe and equally appalling that it seems like it is being facilitated here.<\/p>\n

Back home, opposition MDC Alliance spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere said:<\/p>\n

We continue to demand radical transparency and a far-reaching international audit of the offshore networks that enable looting by Zimbabwean ministers and political elites.<\/p>\n

They launder the loot by buying supercars while the masses starve. Corruption is killing us.<\/p>\n

Machakaire however, expressed ignorance over the Rolls Royce Phantom deal, saying: \u201cI don\u2019t know anything about this story.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
