According to impeccable sources, Mbeki who has failed Zimbabwe with yawning stupidity due to his glaring soft spot for Robert Mugabe has major business interests in Zimbabwe and other unconfirmed reports say he also has shares in two major mining houses in Zimbabwe.
Mbeki was apparently awarded shares by Mugabe in two local big mining houses as a thank you for not allowing Morgan Tsvangirai to topple him despite having won the ballot by a wider margin.
Through his nephew Phillip Chiyangwa he also arranged for him to be given fifty percent of the shares in Pinnacle Holdings a company that is into property development, said a source close to the affluent club of Blah Fidza, as he is known in some circles.
Sources say the Australian investors coupled with Mbeki's investment in Pinnacle has given Chiyangwa massive impetus and his assertion that he has degrees in common sense are hogwash as it is clear that his uncle Bob is using him to play his dirty political tricks to yearn for political survival.
Chiyangwa could neither deny nor confirm that he has Australians and Mbeki in his now affluent business stable. Instead he said that many thinks had been said before about him and he does not care anymore.
Recently, Chiyangwa colonised the media and slotted print and electronic advertisements inviting home seekers to come and buy stands in various parts of the country under Pinnacle properties.
Critics say such a development with Chiyangwa is only the beginning of a major housing scandal as those unsuspecting customers will eventually end up crying foul after the mogul has confiscated their stands on flimsy grounds.
Mbeki has since failed as a mediator between ZANU PF and the MDC-T as he late last year wrote a salvo accusing Morgan Tsvangirai of not showing respect to the integrity of SADC and the AU by complaining and suggesting that their feud with Mugabe should be handed over to the United Nations for successful mediation
