MOUNTAINS OF RAW CASH: Zimbabwean Army Arrests Finance Minister, Recover $10m Cash in His House (Photos)
As the crisis in Zimbabwe continues, the
military has arrested the country's finance minister, Ignatius Chombo and found
large sums of money at his home.
According to reports, the Zimbabwean Minister of Finance,
Ignatius Chombo, has been arrested by the country's army who recovered a
whopping $10 million from him.
Chombo is reported to have been arrested after gunfire was
exchanged between his security and members of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF)
last night.
Chombo is reported to be in custody after the ZDF arrested a
number of ministers and senior party officials over allegations of “committing
crimes that are causing social and economic suffering in the country in order
to bring them to justice.“
While speaking on Al Jazeera, Norton MP, Temba Mliswa, backed
the military's intervention and says that it was necessary because Grace Mugabe
had usurped power from Mugabe.
Mliswa said: "Just for your own information,
Minister Chombo's house which was invaded and he was arrested. He had 10
million dollars on him."
Mliswa said that former Vice President, Emmerson Mnangagwa will
take over from President Robert Mugabe, but could neither deny nor confirm that
Mnangagwa is in Zimbabwe, adding that Mugabe’s mistake was to fire Mnangagwa.
