From Blood Diamonds to Gold Mafia: Grace Mugabe’s Role in Diamond & Ivory Smuggling Revealed
Shocking revelations from the latest episode of Al Jazeera’s Gold Mafia documentary have sent shockwaves through Zimbabwe as former First Lady Grace Mugabe is implicated in a scandal involving the smuggling of gold and diamonds out of the country.
Cleopas Chidodo, CAAZ security manager, revealed that Grace Mugabe used her position of power to amass a fortune through illegal activities, taking advantage of her exemption from airport searches.
According to Chidodo, planes would be sent to diamond mines where the finest diamonds would be handpicked and flown to Dubai via Harare International Airport, without being subjected to any searches due to the First Family’s special privileges.
Chidodo also exposed how Grace Mugabe was involved in ivory trafficking, with poachers being sent to kill elephants and the ivory being flown out of the country as cargo, all without her husband, former President Mugabe’s knowledge.
