Mugweni is reported to have stormed Tobacco giants in Mvurwi in company of a few district officials demanding to have members of his party, Zanu pf to get employed at the floors sidelining others.

“The MP came to our company with some party officials and demanded that we employ more than 800 of his people, in fear of victimization we gave in,”lamented the officials who spoke in confidentiality.

Mvurwi residents blasted the MP saying local people did not benefit since he claims they never voted for him.

“We are not happy with our MP who threatened tobacco companies to employ his people and he came with people outside Mvurwi area saying Mvurwi residents voted for MDC,” Melus Dzobo said.

Efforts to contact Mugweni were fruitless as he blocked this reporter on calls and WhatsApp.
