By A Correspondent- The Recent arrest by the South African Authorities of a Zimbabwean gold smuggler, Tashinga Nyasha Masinire, at OR Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg, with 23 prices of gold worth R11m (US$783 000) after managing to pass through the security checkpoints in Zimbabwe has exposed President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration.

The development has confirmed that Mnangagwa’s top allays are involved in the smuggling of precious minerals from Zimbabwe through the country’s borders.

Masinire appeared in court early this week and was granted R100 000 bail by Kempton Park Regional Court in Joburg.

He was remanded out to 1 July 2021, with stringent bail conditions, ordered not to leave SA until the case is concluded and reporting to police 3 times a week.
