She stated that checks could be conducted with the individuals concerned and proposed that the matter be taken into the public news space.<\/p>\n<p>However, when contacted for comment, the complainants distanced themselves from Chapel\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n<p>One individual, Prosper (surname withheld), did not return calls. A female complainant, Fortune (surname withheld), briefly spoke, saying: \u201cI\u2019ve seen what Olinda has posted, and I really do not want to have anything to do with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked for further clarification on what might be the truth, she responded: \u201cWe don\u2019t want to have anything to do with Olinda\u2019s rants,\u201d before ending the call.<\/p>\n<p>When questioned about why she publicised phone numbers and IDs of her staff members, Chapel maintained her allegations of financial wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>However, she deleted the post a day later after being challenged over potential privacy violations.<\/p>\n<p>Chapel was also asked why she had only now come forward with accusations against her staff members two years after the alleged events. The timing of her claims\u2014relating to a period when she herself was reportedly operating after being deregistered from selling COS papers\u2014remains an issue she has yet to explain.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- #comments --><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#COS #Clients #Exonerate #Tafadzwa #Matinyarare #ZimEye<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olinda Chapel Money: COS Clients Exonerate Tafadzwa Matinyarare By A Correspondent | ZimEye | A group of COS-related complainants, whose&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":55215,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,11],"tags":[6652,6718,6694,10352,4158,202,4898],"class_list":["post-55214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi","category-world","tag-clients","tag-cos","tag-eduzim","tag-exonerate","tag-matinyarare","tag-news","tag-tafadzwa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55214"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55214\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55216,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55214\/revisions\/55216"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
