Cash & Carry owner denies he paid bribe to stop seizure of his businesses by Zanu PF officials

In an interview with Bulawayo based Pakistani businessman, Imran Shahzad who owns Bulk Commodities which trades as Cash and Carry denied paying $750 in protection fees to stop the planned seizure of his businesses by Zanu-PF officials after he demanded $35 000 he had lent to a ruling party youth leader.

Said Shahzad:

All the allegations they are making are lies and you must ask yourself why I am still here if I bribed them. I am a Zimbabwean just like you and I run the business according to the laws. I know where to go if someone tries to take my property. Do you think I can bribe someone with $750 for a business worth millions. This is a joke.
