Elton Steers Mangoma is a former Zimbabwe Minister of Economic Planning and Investment Promotion. He was a Member of House of Assembly for Makoni North (MDC-T).

Career

A senior official in Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s Movement for Democratic Change party, Mangoma was the party’s founding member in 1999. He was one of the country’s first few black Chartered Accountants. Before launching his political career, he established himself as an astute manager with a lot of companies including Deloitte& Touche and Delta Corporation.

Arrest

On 10 March 2011 Mangoma was arrested on charges of corruption, which party leader Tsvangirai concluded were politically motivated. The arrest was said to be in connection with a fuel deal Mangoma made in December with a little-known South African company.

However it is widely felt that the arrest was a farce and another intimidation ploy from the Mugabe regime. On 7 March 2014, the MDC national council suspended him from the party in what his sympathisers viewed as a purge of dissenting voices in the MDC T.

Pat Bowlen’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Pat Bowlen net worth: Pat Bowlen was an American attorney who was also the majority owner, and Chief Executive Owner of the Denver Broncos of the National Football League. At the time of his death  in 2019, Pat Bowlen had a net worth of $1 billion. Pat Bowlen was born in 1944 in Prairie du Chein, Wisconsin. His father, Paul Bowlen, had become a millionaire in the Canadian oil business. Bowlen got his BA and JD from the University of Oklahoma. Though he had plenty of oil money in his family, Pat became wealthy on his own with a successful law practice in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Bowlen also worked as an executive for his father’s company, Regent Drilling and as a real estate developer. In 1984, as the Broncos faced bankruptcy under former owner Edgar Kaiser, Bowlen along with his brothers John and Bill and sister Marybeth purchased a majority stake in the NFL franchise for $78 million. One year later the rest of his family joined to purchase the entire franchise. The Broncos then drafted Stanford quarterback John Elway with the first overall pick in the 1983 draft. Elway led the Broncos to five AFC championships in 1986, 1987, 1989, 1997 and 1998 as well as to two Super Bowl victories in 1998 and 1999. The Denver Broncos saw a resurgence in their fan base, began to turn a profit, and had the opportunity to do so because of Pat Bowlen. John Elway Ownership Offer: In 1998, as Elway’s career was winding down, Bowlen approached the legendary quarterback with a two-part offer: Part 1) Bowlen would sell John a 10% stake in the Broncos for $15 million. Part 2) If John agreed to forgo his deferred salary, he would be given an additional 10% equity stake in the team. At the time John was owed $21 million in deferred salary. So in other words, if John chipped in $15 million of his own cash and gave up $21 million in future earnings, he would own 20% of the Broncos. John declined and opted for the money upfront instead. Tragically, he then invested around $15 million in what turned out to be a ponzi scheme, wiping out $7 million almost immediately. As of 2019, the Broncos are worth an estimated $2.7 billion. Had John taken the deal, today his 20% stake would be worth $540 million.
