Political activists are reportedly pushing for the impeachment of President Emmerson Mnangagwa over alleged corruption in the gold sector by his associates.

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ)’s Financial Intelligence Unit announced on Wednesday that it had frozen the assets of four officials who were implicated in facilitating gold smuggling.

Zimbabwe said on Tuesday that it is seized with issues of alleged money laundering, acts of fraud and corruption being serialised by Al Jazeera and anyone found guilty will face the full wrath of the law.

President Mnangagwa's spokesperson George Charamba has threatened Zimbabwean journalists who report on the findings of an investigation by Al Jazeera into corruption allegations against the country's leaders.

Zimbabwe's opposition leader, Nelson Chamisa, has responded to the recent Al Jazeera documentary on corruption in Zimbabwe, calling out the country's leaders for their role in the issue.

Zimbabwe's security chiefs have expressed concerns to ZANU PF President Mnangagwa about the recently aired Al Jazeera documentary, titled "Gold Mafia: The Laundry Service."

A new Al Jazeera documentary has shed light on the alleged corruption taking place within Zimbabwe's government ahead of the 2023 elections.

Al Jazeera announced on Thursday that it had paused a four-part investigative documentary into official corruption in Zimbabwe but did not provide any explanations.

Zanu PF spokesperson Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa has claimed that white people now support Zanu PF instead of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) led by Nelson Chamisa.
