Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>An exclusive report by Maverick Citizen which is a post mortem of the rot that killed the Zimbabwean dream of freedom and independence identifies President Emmerson Mnangagwa as one of the cartel bosses in Zimbabwe. I<\/p>\n

The 64-page report which details the scale of the theft among others illicit cross-border financial transactions is being published in South Africa.<\/p>\n

The report, \u201cA Study of Cartel Dynamics\u201d notes that underhand dealings cost Zimbabwe up to a staggering US$3-billion a year and billions in gold and diamonds smuggled out of the country.<\/p>\n

Maverick Citizen claims that the report was last week sent to Mnangagwa, Zimbabwe\u2019s ambassador to South Africa, Isaac Moyo, and all those implicated in the report seeking their comments but they did not respond.<\/p>\n

The publication says the report focuses on business cartels because these are the vehicles used for state capture.<\/p>\n

An anonymous expert who was asked to review the report pointed out that normally cartels work to undermine the state but in Zimbabwe, however, they are in league with the highest people in the land.<\/p>\n

The report also explains that because cartels and corrupt economic behaviour are \u201cby their very nature secretive\u2026 it is difficult to accurately measure how much wealth the citizens of Zimbabwe have lost because of cartel activities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the authors of the report provide several examples that point to the sheer scale of the theft:<\/p>\n

Transparency International ratings have over the years consistently ranked Zimbabwe among the most corrupt countries in the world.<\/p>\n

Ironically, Mnangagwa is identified as one of the cartel bosses when he declared war on corruption when he rose to power in 2017 and pledged to take necessary measures to address it.<\/p>\n
