Controversy Surrounding its directorship
Former Warriors forward Shingi Kaondera claimed that Pioneer Gases (Ginimbi's company) was his brainchild and he was the sole owner and founder. He alleged that his ex-wife Marry Chiwenga connived with Ginimbi to forge papers and elbow him out by illegally changing the directorship.
“I am the sole owner of Pioneer Gases that Ginimbi claims to be his. “I have the papers to prove it. “What happened is Ginimbi was my friend at the time and he connived with Marry to doctor paperwork to remove me from the directorship, but Mwari ndewemunhu wese haamwire ku Dreams (God is for us all). “I was based in Cyprus and had the resources to fund the project,” Kawondera said.
A quick search at the registrar of companies confirmed that the late Genius Kadungure and others were directors of Pioneer Gases.[3]
