Just out of curiosity; who is financing Phiri and Mmui?
Thursday, October 24, 2013
Legal fees are no child's play and the endless trips to the courts of law also cost money. Off late I have seen full page press statements from one of the parties dismissing the other. And that costs money. I know who finances the Somarset Gobuiwang and BMC – Kganela corner, and I’m yet to know who finances Sonny Phiri and Spencer Mmui, and why they are doing it. Not to doubt the deepness of their pockets; it is hard to believe that they are in this alone. I believe there are some people, some invisible hand or hands financing the two.
At Township Rollers, the war between Somarset Gobuiwang and Spencer Mmui has reached uncharted territories. The once buddy - buddy two have taken the gloves off and their feud has reached the courts of law. As it is, they have a date in court sometime before the 23rd of November. We all know that Gobuiwang is well off, atleast I have been made to believe so, and he also has the financial backing of JagDish Shah who is well off financially and has a lot to gain or lose if the courts don’t favor Gobuiwang. So legal fees and spending a few Pula on lawyers can’t be too heavy for them. As for Mmui, the little that I know of him is that he is not a wealthy man, compared to Gobuiwang and Shah, who we all know is said to be a millionaire. That’s what caught my attention and I started to ask around. Who is really financing Mmui and what do those invisible person or people have to gain or what do they want out of all this.
