HARARE - Harare businessman Phillip Chiyangwa says he will never reveal the source of funding for the First Lady's nationwide rallies.
In a telephone interview with the Daily News from Lupane on Tuesday, Chiyangwa said he does not owe anyone an explanation.
On Monday, the flamboyant business mogul claimed that he and some well-heeled Zanu PF backers are funding Grace's multiple trips to meet the people.
Asked by the Daily News where he was getting the money, Chiyangwa retorted: "Where I am getting the money is a private matter. I am the chair of that committee and I will not be answerable to anyone. I will not be accountable to anyone."
The Women's League secretary-designate has been travelling by air to her rallies and has recently started moving around with a three-vehicle convoy.
Chiyangwa confirmed he was the man behind the road shows that have so far taken Grace to seven provinces.
"I am funding a private programme and I will not be answerable to anyone about the source of private funds," he said.
"Anyone who will ask me, I will cut the phone."
This comes as security guards who used to work for Chiyangwa, dragged the former legislator to court demanding their salaries. The trio used to work for Jetmaster, a company that is wholly owned by the business tycoon.
Last week, Crittal Hope Private Limited, a company also linked to Chiyangwa, was ordered by the High Court to pay 18 of its former employees $385 000 in retrenchment packages. Daily News
