Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa:
Recently elected HIMSELF through electoral rigging and as seen as the illegitimate leader of Zimbabwe, Mnangagwa continues his 'legacy' of destroying, looting and abuse of power. For the past 6 years he has been in power, there is so much evidence that Zimbabwe has been in it's worst state ever, with no development at all and the country is going back into the 'old' age. [see Amnesty International, This Website and ZHRO's articles.]
One of the CCC member's (activist Simbarashe Jingo) made a comment on how unconstitutional this move, to change from Sovereign Wealth Fund of Zimbabwe to Mutapa Investment Fund is proof that he is on a looting spree, as he describes that this is a "looting vehicle" that will be "one of the biggest loots ever in Zimbabwe".
It is recorded that Zimbabwe is losing over a billion dollars {$1,000,000,000} each year to looting, corruption and Mnangagwa being the king pin. Mnangagwa has done nothing to change the lives of Zimbabwe but only corruption and 'crushing' his opponents.
Former Finance Minister of Zimbabwe, Tendai Biti, on his interview with Heart and Soul said, the SI {Statutory Instrument} brought 20 state entities under one roof.
"The instrument does not meet the test of law and must be rejected as it is illegal. This law was unnecessary,” Biti said.
“They are transferring the public shares into a private vehicle. The government already owns the shares, I think the issue is to sell shares as quickly as possible without public scrutiny.”
A Sovereign Wealth Fund, according to Mt Pleasant MP, Fadzayi Mahere, is a state-owned investment fund comprised of money generated by the government through, for example, surplus reserves from state-owned natural resource revenues, trade surpluses, bank reserves that accumulate from budgeting excesses, foreign currency operations or money that accrues from privatization projects.

UPDATE: 16th September 2023: SADC Observer "Attack" bt ZBC! Dr. Nevers Mumba {SADC Chief Observer} remains unwavering despite a Zanu-PF collaboration with some Zambians on a documentary he views as a threat to national security. CLICK HERE to read/download his statement
Many Zimbabweans gathered outside Number 10 Downing Street on a warm and sunny Friday {15th September 2023} to deliver a Petition with 11 recomendations to the UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, and the Minister for Africa (and Development at the FDCO - Foreign Development and Commonwealth Office) the Rt Hon Andrew Mitchell MP.
Myself and Chief Ndiweni handed over the documents at the doors of Number 10 Downing Street - the Official Residence of the PM. You can Read or Download our 15 page, evidence based Petition by Clicking HERE.
On the day we also took the opportunity to greet Zimbabweans from all over the UK; Glasgow, Scotland; Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester, Portsmouth, Southampton, Stockton-on-Tees, Coventry, Leeds, Milton Keynes and many more! We show here a link to our Flickr Pro Platform to see the progress of the day. These are stills - we will have some video content to add shortly.
The key and salient point in the petition are listed here below;
- The shambolic, corrupt and heavily biased election “process” from Delimitation/Registration manipulations, the dis-organised election 23-24th August, the Alterations of V11’s and the post-election violence against CCC members – Zimbabwe has had NO CREDIBLE ELECTION
- The rushed announcement by ZEC to proclaim Mnangagwa as the Presidential victor {now removed} reeks of ill-advised panic by Mnangagwa.
- The ambivalence of the Military and their declarations to “The president” {as opposed to the Constitution} all smack of corruption at the faux ‘inauguration’.
- Zanu PF are a regional “Destabilisation Organisation” - using looted funds to maintain injustice, corruption and violence! Further rumour has Zanu PF trying to ‘engineer’ a coup on Zambia using the previous President.
- Details of all Observer Missions accessible in Appendices[1]
- Arbitrary and frequent arrests of CCC MP’s and activists to manipulate potential voting.
- No progress on a DIASPORA VOTE – disenfranchising several millions of Zimbabweans globally.
- Further rumour has Zanu PF actively supporting ANC in SA to support their corruption of democracy.
- Job Sikhala is still being held in detention {15 months and counting}
- Remember the #GoldMafia[2] Criminal Syndicate in Zimbabwe, has not been fully investigated.
- We therefore plead with the UK/FCDO to join with SADC/AU/US/EU/Commonwealth, Carter Centre and others, to sponsor a new, INDEPENDENTLY administered, Free and Fair Election in Zimbabwe to accurately reflect the Will of the voting ELECTORATE.

Here are six key takeaways from #GoldMafia
Clean Gold? There’s no such thing
No matter where you buy your gold and regardless of the country’s stamp on it, the very nature of the gold trade makes it extremely difficult to guarantee where it originated from.
The investigation showed how gold smuggled from Zimbabwe makes its way to Dubai and, according to experts in money laundering and illicit trade, is then exported to other major gold hubs like Switzerland and London.
These transfers are possible because gold is melted and refined repeatedly, a process that obfuscates all traces of its origin, making it particularly difficult for law enforcement agencies to build evidence against suspected smugglers.
This also means it is hard to be certain if gold purchased on the open market is ethically and legally clean or whether it is free of laundering and crime. A watch might have been made with gold from a conflict region, or a bar of gold may have been mixed with smuggled gold.
Amjad Rihan, a former partner at the consulting firm Ernst & Young, was responsible for auditing Dubai-based Kaloti a decade ago when it was one of the largest gold refineries in the world. He was blunt in his assessment. “Gold that comes to refiners, once it’s refined, it’s practically brand new gold,” he told Al Jazeera.

"It has been identified in a documentary carried out by Al Jazeera that the Zimbabwean President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, appointed Eubert Angel ( self proclaimed 'businessman' and Prophet who preaches the gospel) as Zimbabwe Ambassador for Europe and America. It has surfaced in the documentary, where there were undercover journalists who purportedly to be from China and wanted gold. The President of Mines; Henrietta Rushwaya ( Emmerson Mnangagwa's niece) and Eubert Angel have been involved in money laundering and smuggling gold out of Zimbabwe to Dubia. There's other nationalities involved in this cartel. As Zimbabweans we strongly believe that all assests in the United Kingdom that belong to Eubert Angel should be frozen, as there's is evidence that they were acquired illegally."
"The people of Zimbabwe are suffering as a result of these acts and they are faced with hardship and live in poverty. Zimbabwe has it's economy collapsed yet it's got enough resources to sustain the nation and create jobs for the masses. The health care lacks equipment, medication and the people to provide care - as health professionals have fled the country in search of better salaries elsewhere in the diaspora. The education system is poor as there are no facilities in schools for children to learn. There are no classrooms, children learn outside under trees sitting on rocks, there's no school furniture, books and all other resources for the teachers to be able to provide the best education for the children of Zimbabwe. The infrastructure is poor and there is no proper sanitation and because of that it has left people falling ill because of waste not being managed adequately."
"The roads are in a terrible condition and lives are lost due to the poor state of the highways as they lack proper servicing and maintenance. There is no clean water and the people are relaying on boreholes that were donated to the community by other Zimbabweans in the diaspora after having heard of the plight faced by fellow Zimbabweans. There's been lives lost due to deaths caused by fire as there is no electricity and people use firewood, gas and candles, paraffin lamps to illuminate in the dark in their homes. All these problems are caused by the government who is involved in gold mafia and money laundering resulting in the country's economy collapsing."
"It is now time for all Zimbabwean all over the world and those who sympathise with us to bring this to an end and we take action by signing a petition that Eubert Angel has to be arrested for the crimes he's committed. The billions that are laundered and gold smuggled can help build back the economy of Zimbabwe."

Background: It mainly started in 2021, however endemic corruption and ruthless exploitation of the wealth of the natural resources of Zimbabwe has been going on for DECADES! Probably back to the {So Called} Independence on 18th April 1980!
Background: It mainly started in 2021, however endemic corruption and ruthless exploitation of the wealth of the natural resources of Zimbabwe has been going on for DECADES! Probably back to the {So Called} Independence on 18th April 1980!
However in 2021 the new President {after a military coup to replace Mugabe in 2017 and a rigged election in 2018 and European Union Assessment of the 2018 Elections}, was slated to visit the United Kingdom {under the auspices of the United Nations} for the Climate conference COP26 - Oct-Nov 2021. As ZHRO, ZAPU, ROHR and the then MDC(A) {now re-branded as CCC} we took our demonstration, firstly to the door of 10 Downing Street with a petition to {Boris Johnson} and also to the COP26 conference itself in Glasgow on the 1st and 2nd November 2021.
Even then we {ZHRO and VUKA} had created the banner stating "ZANU PF MUST GO" and ROHR had created "The Face Behind- Corruption etc" We all knew that Zimbabwe was being {and had been} plundered for her natural resources - for the exclusive benefit to the Zanu PF "elite" - including the arch criminal President Mnangagwa himself READ OUR OCTOBER 2021 PETITION HERE - we did not want Mnangagwa to enter the United Kingdom under any circumstances.
We had reminded the UK Government, that Mnangagwa was head of security under the 1983-87 Gukhurundi genocide {petition in July 2018 for that issue} and as the "Chief Strategist" as named by the Untied Nations in their 2002 report regarding the wholesale looting of diamonds from the DR Congo! It's not as if this was all news to the British Government.
