GoatGate: Mliswa claims ex-convict Wicknell Chivayo pulling the strings
Temba Mliswa, a former Norton legislator, believes the US$7.7 million presidential goat scheme scandal involving Mike Chimombe and Moses Mpofu is being driven by politics rather than the law.
The outspoken politician has claimed that the decision to broadcast the case live confirmed his suspicion of a “third hand” controlling the narrative. Mliswa argued that Chimombe should have been granted bail long ago, as he’s not directly linked to the case.
“I didn’t want to comment on the Chimombe and Mpofu case, but the latest revelations that the case will be broadcasted live has confirmed my suspicions that there is a third hand behind.
“The case is more political than legal as all vestiges of the latter have fallen away,” Mliswa posted on his X handle on Sunday.
“The theatrics are the efforts of a hidden hand making a statement of power. The basic facts of the case itself would allow for Chimombe to be given bail long back as he has nothing to do with the case. It’s not his company he was never part of the negotiations for the goat deal.
