WATCH LIVE as gambakwe looks at the new developments in the ZANU-PF drama involving Mnangagwa’s succession.
An alleged clampdown on Madhadha Liquor, a popular liquor business in Harare, has sparked speculation that the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) is being used as a tool in the intensifying factional battles within the ruling ZANU-PF party.
-
Danmore Mambondiyani is reportedly married to the daughter of Lieutenant General Anselem Nhamo Sanyatwe, a powerful political and military figure in Zimbabwe.
-
This alleged familial link has fueled speculation that Madhadha Liquor’s regulatory challenges are intertwined with Zimbabwe’s intense political factionalism within the ruling ZANU-PF party.
Madhadha Liquor has been subject to a High Court order to relocate its Central Avenue branch due to complaints about disturbances affecting a nearby medical facility.
Despite court orders, the business continued operations, leading to threats of arrest and increased enforcement actions.
In early July 2025, seven Madhadha Liquor outlets were shut down by authorities citing violations of Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) regulations.
The government has implemented a policy refusing to renew licenses for standalone bottle stores in Harare’s CBD since June 2024, aiming to curb illegal alcohol sales and substance abuse.
-
David Munowenyu, CEO of Discovery Ambulance Services, is alleged to be a key sponsor and financier of the clampdown on Madhadha Liquor.
-
Munowenyu reportedly funds enforcement operations involving ZIMRA officers and intelligence agents who have raided Madhadha Liquor shops.
-
These actions are seen as politically motivated, targeting businesses linked to the Sanyatwe family and their associates.
-
Munowenyu’s team is also reported to be targeting other businesses owned by relatives of Sanyatwe, indicating a broader campaign.
