He allegedly controls $1,5bn per year in the energy industry in Zimbabwe which are controlled by affiliated proxy companies. Thes companies own Puma, who owns Zuva and most controls the fuel pipeline, who are the major indigenous partner

The writer lists Trafigura as a link and questions why the fuel of Zimbabwe is coming from Singapore? President Emmerson Mnangagwa Could Secretly Be the Richest Man in Zimbabwe. He also questions why there is mandatory fuel blending.

He said the business relationship between the Interim president and Billy should be scrutinized. He commented that Mnangagwa runs a monopoly in the fuel business. Which is why he can afford to slash fuel prices, this is strategic to winning re-election.

He further questions the ownership of Chisumbanje plant which is supplying ethanol for blending and that Mnangagwa also owns a bank through Musha, also Hebowns gold mines.

After staging the coup, the president is rapidly spreading his tentacles to other areas through mukwash. He has bought into Telecel, he is setting up a satellite TV station Dish.

He has covered his tracks through proxies. How did he make all this money? It all started in the DR Congo. All the coup plotters made their money during that military sojourn, operation sovereign legitimacy (osleg).
