Our journalists contacted Mutumwa Mawere and received his comments regarding the recent events surrounding him and his family.
In response to recent media inquiries, this statement serves as an official clarification regarding my health and whereabouts.
“In recent days, a wave of misinformation has been circulating regarding my health and location. I would like to clarify the situation: I am alive, well, and actively engaged in business and professional meetings in London.
False reports claiming that I am seriously ill or incapacitated are nothing more than a coordinated disinformation campaign aimed at creating confusion and damaging my reputation. These unfounded allegations appear to be part of a broader strategy targeting my family and business interests, particularly in the context of Zimbabwe’s political landscape.
It is deeply concerning that my name is being used as a tool in political battles. The individuals behind these attacks are not only spreading false information but are also attempting to manipulate public perception for their own benefit. Such unethical tactics should not be tolerated in any democratic society.
Additionally, I want to emphasize that I have an excellent relationship with my brother. Unfortunately, these attacks are not only aimed at me but also at him due to his political activities. It is evident that there are forces attempting to undermine his work and influence by targeting our family with baseless accusations and misinformation.
I want to assure my family, business partners, and the public that I am in good health and continue my work without any interruptions. My commitment to business, entrepreneurship, and economic development remains steadfast. I encourage everyone to verify information before spreading unsubstantiated claims.
I appreciate the concern from those who have reached out to check on my well-being. However, let me be clear—there is no cause for alarm. I will continue to engage in constructive dialogue and professional activities despite attempts to undermine my reputation.
This response is being issued as an official statement to the media and is available for immediate publication.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mutumwa Mawere“
Journalist’s commentary:
“Amid the recent rumors and misinformation, I personally spoke with Mutumwa Mawere at 28.01.2025 via video call and want to confirm that he is in good health and actively working in London. We had our conversation while he was in his THZ Holdings office.
Mutumwa Dziva Mawere emphasized that he continues to perform his professional duties and attend business meetings despite the attempts to manipulate public opinion. The growing wave of false reports about his health and whereabouts seems to be aimed at creating confusion and damaging his reputation.
To ascertain his current state of mind, Mutumwa Mawere was kind enough to share a recent photograph taken at his office. The photo clearly shows that he is in good spirits and ready to continue his work.
These events clearly demonstrate how easily public opinion can be manipulated in the context of an information war, especially when disinformation technologies are involved. We urge our readers to always verify information before believing rumors and false claims.”
