Meanwhile, earlier on, the Marange Diamond fields community leader, Moses Mukwada told ZimEye, of the meeting- he is “attending the Diamond Security Indaba organised by ZCDC. It is held 3 times a year at Holiday Inn Mutare. The event [started] last year, with the intention to discuss issues surrounding the protection of diamonds illicit deals and other issues.
To my judgement after attending a number of these meetings, it has yielded nothing rather than eat and drink in hotel for a day. Popular diamond dealers who we have pointed out by name … have never been arrested [or charged. Syndicates of popular individuals continue to be accommodated since… big political chiefs [bosses] are in it.”
