By A Correspondent| A shocking investigation has revealed a link between the extravagant wedding of Finance Ministry Permanent Secretary George Guvamatanga’s son-in-law, Zvikomborero Nyamakura, and a missing shipment of diamonds following a plane crash near Beatrice last year.

On February 13, 2023, a Murowa Diamonds Piper 31 Navajo aircraft, carrying a parcel of diamonds, force-landed 16 km from Beatrice. The five people aboard, including Nyamakura, pilot of the flight, all survived. However, the diamonds were reported missing.

Though a statement from RioZim, the parent company of Murowa Diamonds, failed to address or report any missing diamonds, sources privy to what transpired suggest that the crash was staged to divert attention to some missing diamonds.

According to a well-placed insider, “The crash wasn’t accidental. It was orchestrated to make it appear like some diamonds were lost in the crash, but they had already been stolen.”

Months later, Nyamakura held a secret, opulent wedding in South Africa with Guvamatanga’s daughter.

The luxurious ceremony was attended by high-profile figures from Zimbabwe and abroad, and featured lavish decorations, world-class entertainment, and an array of VIP guests. The timing and sudden wealth raised suspicions.

“There’s no doubt the missing diamonds financed that wedding,” a source close to the case revealed. “The timing and newfound wealth line up perfectly.”

Despite calls from the public to investigate the matter, the case has largely been suppressed. Sources say this is due to Guvamatanga’s significant political influence, which has led to repeated efforts to block investigations into the crash and missing diamonds.

A law enforcement officer involved in the case, speaking anonymously, said, “This is not just about missing diamonds. There is considerable political power involved, and no one wants to address it. The higher-ups are involved, which is why this case has been swept under the rug.”
