By A Correspondent- A gold thief was arrested after asking colleagues and workmates on social media how he could smuggle 400 grammes of stolen gold out of the country.

The incident comes after Finance Minister Professor Mthuli Ncube told Parliament that gold was being smuggled out of the country resulting in the country losing out millions of United Dollars in potential revenue.

He observed that the country was producing large volumes of gold but some was being smuggled through the country’s porous borders since the official gold price in the country was not attractive.
