BREAKING | “YOU REMOVED THIS FROM SOMEWHERE”: Reuben Barwe Slips, Sealing Wicknell Chivayo’s Fate in International Money Laundering Probe
dramatic new twist has emerged in the unfolding corruption saga surrounding Wicknell Chivayo — and this time, it comes from the most unexpected source: veteran state broadcaster Reuben Barwe himself.
In what was meant to be a cheerful thank-you message, Barwe — who acknowledged receiving a US$100,000 cash deposit and a vehicle from Chivayo — may have just delivered the most incriminating line of the year.
May where you have removed this be added more,” Barwe says in the now-viral video, inadvertently confirming what investigators have long suspected: that the funds being paraded as “gifts” are not Chivayo’s legitimate earnings, but likely siphoned from public or illicit sources.
The phrase — “removed this from somewhere” — is being dissected across legal and diplomatic circles, where it is being interpreted as a public admission that the money in question came from an undisclosed and potentially criminal origin.
