You may need to know how this fund originated. The sum was inherited from my
late husband who was assassinated by Robert Mugabe's aides in view of
acquiring his land and property. I got to know of this fund when our family
lawyer, approached me few months ago with some documents that my late
husband had filed with him in the file, I realized that my late husband
(blessed memory) has written "will" which he specifically pointed my
attention and I quote.
My darling wife, I wish to draw your attention to the sum of
US$11.500,000.00 (eleven million five hundred thousand united state dollars)
which I deposited with a security company in South Africa. All documents
concerning the fund is filed with our family lawyer and you can make lay
claim of the fund in case of my absence on earth only by death. I made an
agreement with the Security Company that my foreign partner will stand as a
beneficiary to lay claim of the money. The beneficiary will come forward to
make claim of the consignment. Dr. (chief) Samuel Mboweni, my late husband
advised me through my lawyer, that incase if he dies that I should look for
a foreigner who will stand as the beneficiary of the fund so that the fund
will be transfer to his or her account for partnership investment.
