Genius “Ginimbi” Kadungure’s Botswana empire is crumbling after the country’s Energy Regulatory Authority (BERA) ordered the closure of his Quick Gases (Pty) Ltd.

Mmegi, Botswana’s leading daily reports that, the action by the authority is a result of a succession dispute of Ginimbi’s assets.

BERA spokesman, Tshepang Monare, said they had many reports of people failing to refill their gas cylinders belonging to Quick Gases

“We had to step in and make sure they assist customers while awaiting a permanent solution,” he told Botswana media.

This comes after Leo Chiweshe, whom Ginimbi had appointed to manage the Botswana operations through power of attorney is refusing to handover power to the Kadungure family appointed executor, Patricia Darangwa.

It is understood that the dispute has started taking a toll on the company’s employees and clients.
