We can’t trace Mugabe’s U$15b diamonds: Zacc

THE Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) says it was sent on a wild goose chase to trace the US$15 billion stolen diamonds as alleged by the late former President Robert Mugabe.

This was said by Zacc deputy chairperson commissioner Kuziwa Phineas Murapa during a two-day anti-corruption reporting media workshop in Bulawayo which ended on Tuesday.

He was responding to questions from journalists on whether Zacc had carried out investigations into Mugabe’s claims that diamonds worth more than US$15 billion were
looted in Marange, Manicaland province.
