Zimbabwe a pot of corruption instead of paradise

Conform the Corporate expansion politic for the construction of green energy facilities around the world, Zimbabwe has been promoted by the local franchise partner in 2018, Mr. Rodreg Mlauzi. Mining and trade of goods were his main activities. Mlauzi tried to involve the AVIS group in food trading and mineral business. At the beginning, we at AVIS have been aware that the country were heavy sanctioned. Confirm our project politic, we are developing around the world for the construction of high-tech green facilities. Politics and private people’s enrichment is not a part of the business we're supporting. Unfortunately, during last 2 decades, we experienced chaotic, criminal events on many of the people’s behaviours during project developments and construction money movements. As a result, we have been robbed during the last 6 years. In Colombia, for $150 million from the ex-local franchise partners as he could get his hands at internal data of a credit cards from one of our franchise partners, where he managed for debiting every day several millions out. We got damages in Macedonia for above 10.5 million, Australia $2.7 million, Canada $7 million, Nigeria $6.5 million. In other hand, we collected many $ billions of construction monies. Means we could classify these robberies as collateral damages. Continuously we are learning new events and discover adventures in all the processes for the launch of a construction worldwide.

But, there are fundamental differences. In all these countries we have finally launched a proper structure. Zimbabwe where different. The initial processing behaviour with local peoples, it turned out, were always coloured by fundamental corruption. Absolute nothing did work out as contracted or agreed. More or less, all actions born in that country were an aggressive and tricky hunting of monies only. 

About the sanctions, we have had problems for sending monies for development to Zimbabwe. Mlauzi engaged the purchase of a half completed bank server project, affected during the "COVID" lockdown time, a Smart Vista SWITCH for an exorbitant price of $10 Million USD. The licensed software could work via the card scheme for payments in Zimbabwe. We have had the impression of now having the right solution, also moved we ahead regardless about the nonsense price they asked for. After 3 months of complicated negotiating, we received a purchase agreement from a group of peoples, they have been involved in the server development as directors before. But, the signed purchase contract had a small discrepancy. The South Africa owner of the SWITCH project did not even have a clue that peoples related to him selling his assets. 

Later, our South Africa franchise director, interested in pushing ahead of the Zimbabwean development, started the register of an own bank licence with cash import authorization. We have found and contracted Pondai Dengu, an ex employee of CBZ bank, as he promised contractual to be the motor of the required processing. Unfortunately, after the started of his new job, he disappeared for weeks in travailing and appointments in several European countries. His impression was that the contracted tasks colleagues of him will do so as other local peoples he engaged around him. Our South Africa director contracted numerous peoples from Zimbabwe during a year as directors for covering various positions. Names like Panashe, Dullabh, Chidemo, Maende, Maphosa, Dawi, Chimhini, Mandisodza, Ruvingo, Ruvingo, Chapotarongo, Tapiwa, Mavire Chibvuri, Chanjack and others, our South African director contracted for jobs to cover. Some of these people's opened accounts at Stanbic Bank and ABC bank in Zimbabwe. Subsequent, we have wired for test GB100.000,00 to Standbic. The money disappeared. We have wired in 10k tranches to ABC Bank. The money disappeared. Some of the monies we were receiving back after months. The peoples contracted, have been in papers existing, but we could not figure out what they did or could do or where they are located. There has been a law firm, named “Titan Law” in Harare engaged for the creation of the purchase contract for the acquiring of ABC Bank. But, the sellers of the bank dismissed any involvement of that law firm about suspicion of fraudulent activities. We have advised clearly our Africa franchise partner that the only form of development in Zimbabwe is the merger & acquisition of an existing industrial construction and a existing bank infrastructure. But ABC Bank got blocked all of their correspondence accounts for corruption and the local bank directors frozen all selling intentions of the bank shares to a potential buyer, as they have had themselves interest to purchase the bank. They have searched worldwide credits for the purchase. For supporting their intention, they have subsequent issued fraudulent bank guarantees of eight-hundred million. Titan Law requested from AVIS some millions of fees for a non-existing job. Conform his email messages sent to AVIS teams, he required his commission for selling the bank, regardless the bank were sold or not. Pondai he doesn't care on committing fraud and corruption, or he made a contracted job or not. He requested AVIS to pay millions of fees. Some of these African team members requested we should transfer a part of the share capital ($30 million) to a Zimbabwean bank. The negative result of the previous test transfers warned us, not transferring into an African bank good monies. Therefore, we have constantly kept monies save outside the Zimbabwean territorial. 

We at AVIS understanding our green energy construction development as a human help mission, as in all the other countries we are supporting. Furthermore, we're never asking monies for the construction from any government of a sovereign country. Moreover, we finance absolute all ourselves. But we're requesting from the host location a basic infrastructure launch help. In Zimbabwe, the people's fighting for daily surviving monies. Means, they don't care about a green project or creating an infrastructure for jobs and business. The entirely country is just an endless mess of corruption and criminality. However and regardless, we are supporting in Zimbabwe still good peoples for IT jobs. We're generating working space and providing flats and university schoolings for peoples, they are willing to work. We were providing VISA's and trips for coming to Europa. Schooling and team building we provide for Zimbabweans. 

However, with the project development in Zimbabwe, we are moving ahead by respecting our standard franchise politics. Merger and acquisition of the right industrial and bank infrastructure is ongoing. Prospective offers we have from Central banks nearby Zimbabwe. It's a matter of time for completion. We will report to the European Central Bank about the still ongoing substantial corruption and the resulting intention to block and high jack a green project by individuals.  

Sub-Saharan Africa sanction status

If we narrow the focus down to just Sub-Saharan Countries, the situation does not get much better! Zimbabwe remains in the bottom third, so even by the standards of our neighbours, things are looking pretty grim. 

Of the 49 countries assessed in Sub-Saharan Africa, the average score was 32/100, with Zimbabwe on 24/100 and near the bottom of the class! In fact, 38/49 and barely above some of the most corrupt regimes in the world, such as DRC and Equatorial Africa.
