Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>By Staff Reporter<\/b> – THE Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe (GMAZ) has threatened to sue South Africa\u2019s Daily Maverick after the news site recently published a report which projected the business group as scandal ridden and committing illicit transactions with impunity.<\/p>\n

In a letter of complaint to the editor of the publication, GMAZ acting general manager Garikai Chaunza said the group was shocked by the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish to categorically state that the allegations laid therein are not only incorrect but are malicious and defamatory,\u201d Chaunza said.<\/p>\n

The group denies claims by the publication that contents linking it to alleged scandals were fact-checked as no one was said to have contacted the organisation.<\/p>\n

GMAZ also denies the government\u2019s grain subsidy programme was opaque.<\/p>\n

Said Chaunza, \u201cTo claim, as your report did, that the issue of subsidised maize and wheat is nothing but a cartel set up of collision of any sort between the government of the Republic of Zimbabwe and GMAZ, is shocking and completely uncalled for, at the very least.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish to reiterate that subsidies never profiteered any of the millers, but millers only acted as conduit to lower the price of the maize meal.\u201d<\/p>\n

GMAZ said, \u201cWe are under reasonable apprehension that your report was concocted with these falsehoods and timed to be released now so as to negatively influence sanction regime stance review on Zimbabwe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added added, \u201c\u2026We ae wherefor inviting you to re-check your facts and do the needful by retracting your claims in the next 14 days.<\/p>\n

\u201cShould you fail or refuse to do so, we will not hesitate to approach the courts of law in your jurisdiction with prayer for hefty damages.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
