HARARE(ZimEye)- A police docket  implicating two ZANU PF stalwarts who include President Mugabe’s blue eye boy, Emmerson Mnangagwa along with ZANU PF longtime guru, Webster Shamu has vanished from Zimbabwe Attorney-general Johannes Tomana’s office.

 

As the MDC sought a probe into the matter, efforts to provide Tomana a copy of the docket saw the police superintendent who was in charge of the investigations being immediately transferred from his posting at Bulawayo Central police station to a rural centre in Mashonaland Central’s Nzvimbo, a growth point in Chiweshe, more than 500 kilometres away from Matebeleland.

 

The two high-profile figures had been implicated in massive poaching of rhinos in Zimbabwe’s national parks, after the arrest of a Chinese national early this year who was found with six rhino horns at a police roadblock along the Hwange-Bulawayo Road.

 

A police officer at Harare Central Police station when approached on the matter simply replied:

 

‘These cases are difficult! -  Ma Case aya anonetsa’

 

It is reported that the Chinese national then implicated a businessman in Kwekwe whose name to date has been withheld by the police. The businessman then pointed fingers at Mnangagwa and Shamu.

 

Mnangagwa, who earned notoriety as the head of the dreaded Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) ministry in the early 80s, is the current defence minister in the government of national unity.

 

Shamu is the media and information minister.

 

The two government ministers are said to have been launching their operations from HKK Safaris, a conservancy Shamu co-owns together with South African businessman, Charles Davy. Davy is father to English-Royal Prince Harry’s former girlfriend, Chelsy.

 

Davy has in the past been accused of violating hunting quotas and Zimbabwe’s then stringent foreign currency regulations at their conservancy near Hwange national park but has been shielded from prosecution by Shamu. He is also said to be a personal friend of President Mugabe.

 

 “The President (Mugabe) is very, very embarrassed,” said environmental and natural resources management minister, Francis Nhema, last week. “He asked me for the names of the ministers involved.”

 

Nhema, however, refused to admit or deny the two Mugabe right-hand men were the ministers in question.

 

This comes before an imminent censure from the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites) after the southern African country officially lost more than 70 rhinos in the past 12 months to well co-ordinated Zimbabwean and international poaching syndicates.

 

Tomana’s appointment as attorney-general and Gideon Gono’s re-appointment as central bank governor have been referred to SADC for arbitration as they were unilaterally made by Mugabe without the consent or agreement of the two MDC leaders. This matter has also seen a bitter feud between Finance minister and Mugabe appointed central bank governor, Gono.

 

Under the new global political agreement (GPA) senior appointments such as these have to be agreed to by all parties in the unity government.” Sicne the year 2000, many dockets implicating ZANUF PF members have disappeared into ‘thin air’ In March 2000, another docket implicating then leader of the war veterans, Chenjerai Hunzvi disappeared after a week of having been opened. Many other dockets would soon follow the same trend that has seen many ZANU PF members protected by loopholes in the state security structures(ZimEye, Zimbabwe/Agencies)
