Evil cooks good pasta -The construction mafia and corrupt politicians seized our Parliament

I was reading former FBI Director, James Comey’s Book, “A Higher Loyalty”, the other day. He makes reference to an encounter with one of the most dangerous mafia he had gone to interview at a safe house in Italy and how ordinary the man looked.

Over the past week, the nation was embroiled in brouhaha over supposed corruption between the Masisi administration and a company called Khato Civils (Pty) Ltd (hereinafter Khato Civils). Khato Civils is a black-owned multi national company with a project footprint spanning Africa’s landmass. The company’s owner is a man of Botswana and Malawi ancestry. If you understand the ancestry of the one-time presidential hopeful, Dr. Venson-Moitoi, you understand the ancestry of the man behind Khato Civils, Simbi Phiri. That is how close or how far he is from Botswana.
