By Farai D Hove | The below video is of Emmerson Mnangagwa dishing out vast lands to Chinese business people for a song. Mnangagwa was filmed in April 2019, telling the sino business community, “I offer you lands in the national parks so that as you play golf you can mix with elephants and lions.”
The development comes just as his spokesman George Charamba, earlier this year denied that Mnangagwa has in another case sold off land the whole of Mutare size, to Belarus in exchange for a few hundred ZUPCO buses.
With the Chinese scenario it has never been clear how much has been exchanged with Beijing investors, amid speculation that China is slowly taking over the country. In a recent pre-interview with the deputy Chinese ambassador to Zimbabwe, the diplomat was put to task on the subject of China colonizing the country and he responded saying the Asian giant is not doing it the way the British did it (click here to read). He said:
“….do we do it by force? Do we come here to take over the land? Do we kill people? Okay? Anyway, I think you should have your standards to make the judgement.”
