Papi Mogashoa

Major Phiri testified that payments on 20 May 2023 in his bank account originated from amounts associated with a person called Papi Mogashoa and companies linked to him, including Papador where William Masupye is a director.

“He testified that these amounts are from a person called Papi Mogashoa ... Papador ... Mr Masupye is a director of Papador ... making payments to Mr Phiri under the directorship of William Masupye.”

Major Phiri admitted that he received money originally supposed to come from Papi Mogashoa but that the actual funds came from William Masupye, who lent the money to Phiri after Papi said he did not have the funds.

“The money came from William Masupye and not Papi ... I engaged William Masupye and said to William ... Papi said he will charge me 20% interest ... I call our common friend William Masupye to give me the money ... then I took the money knowingly that it comes from Papi.”
