Former RBZ boss exposes couple employees

FORMER Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) governor Gideon Gono has exposed his former employees Clarks and Beverly Makoni, who are accused of fraudulently seizing control of his company Value Lodge in Manicaland province, saying the accused person is facing the same allegations on his other properties in Chivhu.

Gono told magistrate Stanford Mambanje that he was introduced to the couple in 2016 by his children, who persuaded him to employ them as his family real estate project.

“I entrusted them to manage a portfolio of over 15 properties in Chivhu and in 2017, I expanded the trust so they could manage our Mutare portfolio that included Valley Lodge,” he said.
