Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A major player in the transport sector, Leonard Mukumba, is a candidate in ZANU PF Manicaland provincial elections that are being held this Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Mukumba, who owns Inter Africa Buses, is contesting the post of secretary for transport.<\/p>\n

He has previously refused to join politics insisting he wanted to focus on his business.<\/p>\n

In the 2018 general elections, ZANU PF supporters asked Mukumba to contest for the Makoni South Member of Parliament seat but he refused to budge.<\/p>\n

A ZANU PF central committee member in Manicaland, who refused to be named, confirmed Mukumba\u2019s candidature to NewsDay.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with the publication at the African Apostolic Church\u2019s Mapembe shrine in Odzi, Mukumba, who is a bishop in the church, said he was one of the biggest transport operators in Zimbabwe. He said:<\/p>\n

I was blessed by Paul Mwazha to become one of the biggest transport operators in the country, I joined the African Apostolic Church in 1989 and I could accompany our leader Mwazha who prophesied that I was going to be a transport mogul.<\/p>\n

Besides Inter Africa buses, Mukumba also owns Blue Horizon trucking company among other businesses.<\/p>\n

The African Apostolic Church was founded by Paul Mwazha and the congregates had gathered at Mapembe Shrine to celebrate his 103rd birthday.<\/p>\n
