Cables can confidently reveal that South African businessman Zunaid Moti financed the ruling DPP’s election campaign with US$6 million.
According to information available to Cables, Moti’s appointment as Malawi’s Ambassador-at-Large formed part of an agreement under which he would finance the DPP campaign. Following the party’s victory in the September 16 elections, the appointment was subsequently effected.
The letter outlining the terms and conditions of the alleged agreement is dated 12 July 2025, just months before the September 16 elections.We have it in our possession signed by both Moti and Malawi President Mutharika .
In our earlier publication, we revealed that Moti is expected to play a key role in facilitating major investment negotiations involving Malawi’s mining, energy and fuel sectors on behalf of the Government of Malawi.
The reported MK4 billion donation to the First Lady’s BEAM Trust is also cited as part of efforts to strengthen his relationship with the country’s leadership.
Cables welcomes any individual or institution with information that contradicts these claims to come forward with evidence. We maintain that we are in possession of documentation relating to the alleged agreement and remain prepared to substantiate our reporting.
As always, Cables remains committed to publishing verified facts, ensuring fairness, and giving all parties mentioned an opportunity to respond.
Make a date with us tomorrow as we unpack what is inside the agreement between Malawi government under the DPP leadership and Zunaid Moti .
