The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) yesterday reportedly pounced on a Chinese company selling blankets without following the country's laws.
When the news crew arrived at the company's premises in New Ardbennie, gates were closed while several Zimra vehicles were parked by the entrance.
Oldlock managing director David Xing said he was in a meeting when he was called for a comment. Reports are that the company had tax issues although others claimed the blankets were not properly declared.
Meanwhile, Chinese ambassador to Zimbabwe Mr Huang Ping dismissed assertions that China wants to colonise Africa, adding that China was committed to the principles of sincerity and goodwill.
Ping explained that China did not colonise anyone but cherishes the way of cooperation, peace and development. He was speaking on the side-lines of a public lecture at the University of Zimbabwe.
