RBZ's Gono denies he will run for president

Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor Gideon Gono has refuted growing speculation that he could run for President in 2008, when President Robert Mugabe steps down.

According to a report by the Zimbabwe Standard Gono also confirmed for the first time in an interview with The Standard that he had been President Mugabe's personal banker, during his tenure at the Jewel Bank (Commercial Bank of Zimbabwe) but said that this was a "regular" relationship that would not influence him into politics.
