'Mnangagwa Is My Partner, I Went to Prison to Protect Him' Claims Gold Smuggler Macmillan in Al Jazeera Expos� NewZimbabweCom: Zimbabwe
The Qatar-based news network is now releasing a weekly Podcast every Tuesday sharing the 'Gold Mafia' back stories not included in their film."I have been doing gold since I was 19, I went to jail for the first time for gold when I was 21...and you will not believe this but my partner is the President. I did 60 days in prison and my partner is the new President," claimed Macmillan.
"98 - 2000, I got in, two very ginormous black guys and they said 'you know who your partner is don't mention it or your life will get so much worse"', he added. Because of his proximity to power and government influence, Macmillan said he had a leeway to cut corners that involved paperwork.

What Now After Al Jazeera Probe Exposes Zimbabwe's Gold Mafia?An undercover probe by Al Jazeera has exposed a criminal network worth billions of dollars through gold smuggling and money laundering in Zimbabwe. Many people were stunned by the first episode of the Al Jazeera documentary Gold Mafia, which centers on Zimbabwe and more disclosures are allegedly on the way, according to the news network. Key members of the Gold Mafia are allegedly Kenyan preacher Kamlesh Pattni, alias "Brother Paul," who also smuggles gold out of Zimbabwe, and Uebert Angel, one of Zimbabwe's most powerful ambassadors, who is accused of using his position to smuggle illegal money into the country. Meanwhile, Henrietta Rushwaya, President of Zimbabwe's Mining Federation and niece of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, is accused of being involved in the purchase of gold for the laundering scam. Now multi-millionaire businessman Simon Rudland, who was cited as the biggest funder of gold smuggling activities in Zimbabwe during an Al Jazeera investigation, has demanded an apology from the station and indicated he will be suing. Meanwhile, Angel has since said that Mnangagwa's son, Emmerson Junior and the First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa were also recorded during the Al Jazeera investigation.
