Attached is a statement drafted for Chigumba & sent to me via emissaries at Zimpapers. The minister wanted me to use the statement on the condition that I don't publish his name. Chigumba's superiors did not allow her to sign the statement. This left the minister out to dry. 1/8 
I don't intend to humiliate Chigumba or to invade her privacy tabloid style. All I seek is to expose a clear conflict of interest that likely explains Chigumba’s arrogance against overwhelming evidence of ZEC's mismanagement of the election. She is conflicted & must resign. 2/8
We have seen a contrived and desperate ballot paper illegally designed to favour Mnangagwa. We have seen Zanu PF using VR phone numbers to illegally text voters. We have seen Chigumba illegally wearing a Zanu PF scarf. ZEC is obstinate & accountable to Zanu PF, not the voter. 3/8
The ZEC chairperson is the last line of defence against electoral malpractice. As such, the person must be an upstanding member of society with probity that's beyond reproach. Can a woman who has an affair with a married cabinet minister be such a person? The answer is no. 4/8
Zimbabwe needs men and women of integrity to lead our constitutional bodies. Chigumba is not a woman of integrity or moral conviction. She has proven to be a Zanu PF puppet who was placed in the ZEC chair because, like Mudede and Makarau, she's ready and willing to play ball. 5/8
These allegations expose me to the real possibility of prolonged and expensive legal action. Chigumba and Chitando have the money and influence. I have the truth, which they know. My work has been thorough and I am able and ready to defend it in a court of law, any time. 6/8
Chigumba is a judge of the High Court and she knows the implications of perjuring herself. If she denies and I prove, she is finished. Chigumba knows that her sexual relationship with Chitando is a fact. Her silence in the face of a screaming scandal is a testament to this. 7/8
So, ZEC chairperson Justice Priscilla Chigumba has a sexual relationship with Zanu PF cabinet minister Winston Chitando. This presents a clear conflict of interest: if Zanu PF loses the election her lover will lose his job. She must do the right thing and resign. Ndatenda. 8/8
