An onlive publication, ZimLive, reports that police in Australia say they will work with international organizations on rape allegations levelled against Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
According to ZimLive, Matt Adams, spokesperson of Queensland Police Service, declined to discuss details of Susan Mutami’s case filed at Mount Ommaney Police Station.
The publication quoted Adams as saying, “For confidentiality and privacy reasons, we are unable to provide any information other than to advise Queensland Police will liaise with, and refer any inquiries to international jurisdictions.”
Presidential spokesperson, George Charamba, has already dismissed the case as “gossip” while Mutami insists that Mnangagwa allegedly raped her when she was 15-years old and continued to abuse her over the years, including her stay at the president’s residence in the Midlands city of Kwekwe.
Mutami featured in a Twitter spaces livestream three days ago in which she alleged that she wanted to inform Mnangagwa’s wife, Auxillia, about the abuse but she dismissed her, saying she was a classless woman of easy virtue.
Mrs. Mnangagwa has not reacted to the allegations levelled against her husband as she is unreachable for comment. The Zimbabwean president has also remained mum on the issue.
