Moyo links “Mnangagwa’s gold smuggling machete-syndicate” to Nov 2017 coup

By Jonathan Moyo:

In 2017 VP Mphoko showed Cabinet gruesome images of victims of machete gold-gangs in Kwekwe. Cabinet tasked Chombo to get the Police to investigate. Mnangagwa, July Moyo & Owen Mudha Ncube were implicated!

False. I did not support Mnangagwa & his power grab when I was in govt. I exposed his command uglyculture, he called it command agriculture & his coup plotting. In cabinet we exposed his machete gold-gangsters. Cabinet was shown gruesome pictures of machete killings by his gangs!

Yes, it has a history & the police were moving on Mnangagwa over his machete gangs between 2016 and 2017. It’s a very ugly story behind Mnangagwa’s gold smuggling machete-syndicate, and is one of the major reasons behind the November 2017 military coup!
