Paul Tungwarara runs the Dubai-registered Prevail International Group, drilled boreholes under the Presidential Borehole Scheme, built the State House wall and handed out empowerment money at rallies. He sits on the ZANU PF Central Committee and advises President Mnangagwa. His critics say he shows how power really works in Zimbabwe; allegations against him remain unproven in court. This fact-checked film follows the record from 2017 to the helicopter crash, the airlift and the Chinhoyi conference of October 2026, with every allegation attributed and his own account included.
