Zanu PF activist’s alleged sponsor exposed

CONTROVERSIAL Gold Leaf Tobacco co-founder, Simon Rudland, is in the eye of a storm following claims that he is allegedly financing Zanu PF activist, Rutendo Matinyarare’s campaign against manufacturer of consumer staple and durable goods group, INNSCOR and its founder Zinona “Zed” Koudounaris.

Matinyarare’s erstwhile lawyer, Simba Chitando’s explosive affidavit, filed in a South African court in support of a criminal complaint against the Zanu PF activist, has exposed alleged details of Rudland’s financial hand targeted at bringing down INNSCOR and Zed.

In his affidavit, Chitando, who was Matinyarare’s lawyer in the fight against INNSCOR, said the activist had committed perjury and obstructed the administration of justice.
