My life is in danger: MP

Bulawayo South MP, Eddie Cross (MDC-T), who made startling revelations in Parliament last week claiming massive plunder of Chiadzwa diamonds by security forces, says his life is now in danger.

Cross — who said the State had lost diamonds in excess of $2,7 billion to looting — claimed yesterday he was being threatened by unknown individuals posing as members of the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO).

The MP tabled a motion in the House of Assembly last Tuesday calling for diamond mines in Marange to be nationalised before naming the Zimbabwe National Army, CIO, Zimbabwe Prison Services and the Zimbabwe Republic Police among organisations extracting diamonds from Chiadzwa fields.
