No Relationship Between Alfred Gangata and Bishop Simama

Politics

News from losing DPP VP presidential aspirants that Hon Alfred Gangata is being financed by Bishop Simama is fake. The truth is Hon Gangata is a hard working young man. He has built his business empire from scratch. The people who are spreading this fake news should ask themselves first where was Simama when Hon Gangata was sponsoring singlehandedly Southern region football league and Masters Security football team?
