The Cleanest Dirty Deal in Zimbabwe’s History

Zimbabwe is once again rocked by scandal – this time involving a jaw-dropping $162 million deal that’s turning heads and sparking outrage across the nation.

According to explosive revelations from investigative platform Dug Up, a well-known and infamous Zimbabwean businessman — with a history of shady dealings — is set to pocket millions from a murky government-linked agreement without offering any service in return.

The man at the center of the storm is no stranger to controversy. Previously implicated in massive financial scandals, he has now managed to pull off what’s being called “the cleanest dirty deal in years” — walking away with millions, legally protected, while the Zimbabwean public foots the bill.

The report claims no services, no goods, no actual work was done. Just paperwork — and $162 million goes poof.

Zimbabweans have taken to social media, calling the deal everything from “state-sanctioned looting” to “economic sabotage.” Citizens, activists, and watchdogs are now demanding answers, transparency, and — most of all — justice.

“How can one man be handed that kind of money for doing literally nothing, while hospitals lack medicine and people go hungry?” one furious Twitter user posted.

In response, government spokespeople have insisted the payment was “legally sound”, but have avoided explaining the why behind the transaction. Critics say hiding behind legality is not enough — ethical governance is what’s missing.

Several opposition MPs are now pushing for a full audit and even criminal investigations, saying the situation “smells worse than a decade-old fish market.”

This latest expose adds fuel to the growing fire of public distrust in state institutions and raises urgent questions about oversight, accountability, and corruption in Zimbabwe.

The Dug Up report has already gone viral — and it’s clear this is not going away anytime soon.
