1/3 This week I attended the opening of the #Mandela centenary exhibition.
In a short speech, Lord Hain thanked one of the sponsors, Moti Group, twice.
According to @mailandguardian Lord Hain is
employed by them "in part to improve their poor reputation" mg.co.za/article/2018-0…

2/3 Moti Group is a mining & property
company that's been subject to some controversy. It allegedly has links to
Zimbabwean officials implicated in human rights violations & in 2017,
Interpol issued an international arrest warrant for the company's chair mg.co.za/article/2018-0…

"There is no suggestion that the royals were aware of or intended to
endorse the Moti Group’s controversial business practises; or the group’s links
to senior Zimbabwean officials that have been implicated in serious human
rights violations."

This rings a #BellPottinger
Moti Group, who employ Peter Hain as an advisor & were at the #Mandela centenary exhibition with #MeghanAndHarry, use the PR firm Sans Frontières, which is run by Lord Bell, former head of Bell Pottinger, the firm that incited division in #SouthAfrica

According to ex-Minister @DavidColtart, PR firm #SansFrontiereAssociates which was set up by Lord Bell after the collapse of his disgraced PR outfit #BellPottinger & which advises Moti Group who have mining interests in #Zimbabwe, also acted for ZANUPF during #ZimbabweElections
When debating whether to represent a questionable individual, staff at PR companies used to joke that the answer was either “Yes”, “No” or “One for #BellPottinger”
Here's the story of the collapse of the PR firm whose ghosts are still haunting this thread newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…

"Why is Peter Hain helping Moti, a tycoon who cuts deals with #Zimbabwe’s violent regime, to rub shoulders with #HarryandMeghan?" via @guyadams.
Interestingly the PR firm Moti uses, Sans Frontieres, was set up by Lord Bell after #BellPottinger collapsed dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…
