Moyo challenges top army official

Higher Education minister Jonathan Moyo has challenged Major General Douglas Nyikayaramba to account for the missing $15 billion diamond revenue, which President Robert Mugabe has claimed could not be accounted for. Moyo’s challenge comes after Nyikayaramba told Parliament on Monday that corruption by senior government officials was a security threat.

Moyo tweeted,

Nyikayaramba said corruption is a major security threat. Unravel and recover missing $15 billion.

The military has been accused of supporting Team Lacoste, a Zanu PF faction allegedly linked to Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa, which Moyo has accused of instigating corruption allegations against him. Both the military and Mnangagwa have repeatedly denied any links to any faction.
