By Talent Gondo| Calls for President Emmerson Mnangagwa to walk the talk on transparency and accountability regarding externalised funds have intensified amid calls for him to encourage his predecessor Robert Mugabe to return externalised funds and property during the extension period which he offered last week.

Norton legislator, Temba Mliswa called on the Mugabes citing the former first lady Grace, to return “all she took” during the amnesty period.

“Robert Gabriel Mugabe must urge his wife to return all she took including properties in South Africa and Singapore,” said Mliswa on Twitter.

He said the return should be inclusive of the 21 farms which the former  first family allegedly own.

“The law must take its course and assets  should be accounted for to avoid a scenario where leaders do things with impunity expecting to be forgiven and treated with kids’ gloves,” tweeted Mliswa.

President Mnangagwa initially offered a three month moratorium to those who illegally  externalised funds indicating that those who did not heed his call to return the funds would be arrested and prosecuted.

Last week, while speaking at the  Zimbabwe Trade and Investment Conference, President Mnangagwa said those who illegally externalised money had been given another two weeks to comply with the moratorium whose deadline was now the 16th of March.

President Manangagwa however warned that on the 19th of March, a list of those who would have failed to comply with the directive will be published, before the law takes its course.
