ZANU PF businessman, Wicknell Chivayo is said to have rescued 32 Zimbabwean women who were lured to Kuwait to work as housemaids but ended up being abused as sex slaves.
Mr Chivayo bought return air tickets worth US$58 900 for the stranded women, the state media reported.
The news came as MDC legislator Priscilla Mushonga complained that government has failed to pay the remaining USD12,000.00.
She announced last night in writing saying, “I am in Kuwait with the Speakers delegation. We have been on our missing girls here. The Speaker has managed to get the authorities to where to the girls’ repatriation”.
She continued saying, “what I am mad about is my government. The minister of Foreign Affairs has callously told us that government has no USD12,000.00 to pay for the tickets of these traumatized girls, whose stories amount to human trafficking, and we call ourselves a government. My hero is the ambassador here and the Speaker, they have been amazing. As for Simbarashe Mumbengegwi I can’t wait to get home and give him my piece of mind,” she said.
The women were rescued by a parliamentary delegation led by National Assembly Speaker Advocate Jacob Mudenda and chairperson of the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Foreign Affairs Kindness Paradza who left for Kuwait at the weekend after it emerged that several Zimbabwean women were stuck in the Gulf country and being were abused as sex slaves.
Other members of the delegation are MDC legislator Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga, Zanu-PF MP Sabbina Thembani and senator Chief Musarurwa.
Paradza told The Herald yesterday that they met with Kuwaiti authorities to discuss the situation.
“Today we met the ruler of Kuwait His Highness, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah and Acting Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, where a directive was issued that the women should be repatriated in order to avoid the deterioration of good relatRobert Mugabe

Robert Gabriel Mugabe (;Shona:[muɡaɓe]; 21 February 1924 – 6 September 2019) was a Zimbabwean revolutionary and politician who served as Prime Minister of Zimbabwe from 1980 to 1987 and then as President from 1987 to 2017. He served as Leader of the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) from 1975 to 1980 and led its successor political party, the ZANU – Patriotic Front (ZANU–PF), from 1980 to 2017. Ideologically an African nationalist, during the 1970s and 1980s he identified as a Marxist–Leninist, and as a socialist during the 1990s and the remainder of his career.
Mugabe was born to a poor Shona family in Kutama, Southern Rhodesia. Educated at Kutama College and the University of Fort Hare in South Africa, he then worked as a schoolteacher in Southern Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia, and Ghana. Angered by white minority rule of his homeland within the British Empire, Mugabe embraced Marxism and joined African nationalists calling for an independent state controlled by the black majority. After making antigovernmental comments, he was convicted of sedition and imprisoned between 1964 and 1974. On release, he fled to Mozambique, established his leadership of ZANU, and oversaw its role in the Rhodesian Bush War, fighting Ian Smith's predominantly white government. He reluctantly participated in peace talks in the United Kingdom that resulted in the Lancaster House Agreement, putting an end to the war. In the 1980 general election, Mugabe led ZANU-PF to victory, becoming Prime Minister when the country, now renamed Zimbabwe, gained internationally recognized independence later that year.
