Elton Steers Mangoma is a Zimbabwean politician, who is a former Minister of Economic Planning and Investment Promotion.^[1] and member of the House of Assembly for Makoni North (MDC-T). He currently serves as the party president of the Renewal Democrats of Zimbabwe.

Career

A senior official in Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change, Mangoma was among the party's founding members in 1999. He was one of the country's first black chartered accountants. Before launching his political career, he was manager of several companies including Deloitte& Touche and Delta Corporation.

Arrest and break with MDC

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. In 2015 he founded the party Renewal Democrats of Zimbabwe (RDZ).
