VP snared by explicit recordings

The Anti-Corruption Trust of Southern Africa (ACT-SA) has expressed concern that one of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s deputies, Kembo Mohadi has allegedly used his power, office and authority to solicit sexual favours from females. In a statement received by Legalbrief, the trust has obtained audio evidence which indicates that Mohadi sexually harassed women he knew over the telephone. Munyaradzi Chaumba, ACT-SA’s regional director, condemned Mohadi’s behaviour and asked Mnangagwa to fire him. ‘ACT-SA strongly condemns the deplorable behaviour and the abuse of the highest office in the land. The acts are symptoms of the highest moral and ethical decay,’ he said. However, government spokesperson Nick Mangwana described the furore as ‘a lot of noise from insecure men’. ‘When married man have it off with young women, no problem. When married women have it off with powerful men all hell breaks loose!’ he tweeted.
