Arabs stole Zim gold reserves: Mutsvangwa

Christopher Mutsvangwa,ZANU PF spokesperson, has made astonishing revelations that Zimbabwe’s gold reserves were stolen from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ).

 

Speaking during a press conference this afternoon, Mutsvangwa said the Arabs stole the country’s gold reserves using the US dollar which never came to Zimbabwe.

 

He said the country ran short of American dollars due to the sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe by Western countries which gave Arabs an opportunity to stole the country’s gold reserves.

 

Mutsvangwa’s claims come at the time the country is bracing for a new currency Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) which is said to be backed by gold reserves and other precious minerals.

 

Speaking about the new currency, Mutsvangwa said President Emmerson Mnangagwa will do everything in his power to make sure that the currency is strengthened.

 

He said Mnangagwa’s new name will be Mr Strong ZiG, as he will do everything possible as head of the state so that ZiG remains strong in support of the RBZ governor.
