Former Higher, Tertiary science and technology minister Jonathan Moyo continued his attack on what he called looters.
Earlier during the day, Moyo applauded the move by President Emmerson Mnangagwa for cleaning up and resuscitating the economy, he, however, encouraged President Mnangagwa and General Constantine Chiwenga to return the missing $15 billion from China.
Moyo sent another tweet saying, "The presumption that an old violent & looting dog can practice new tricks is nothing but a fallacy. Once a 1980s military Gukurahundist, always a Gukurahundist & once a Chiadzwa diamond looter, always a looter!"
Speaking in a belated 92nd birthday interview on state-run Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation, Mugabe said the state treasury received less than $2 billion.
Mines and Mining Development minister Walter Chidhakwa had previously stated that the amount which reached the public purse was $600 million.
"We have not received much from the diamond industry at all. I don't think we have exceeded $2 billion, yet we think more than $15 billion has been earned," Mugabe said then.

Good start indeed. So let him & Chiwenga lead by example by returning the $15 billion from China! https://t.co/GQrXYQOTIn

Former President Robert Mugabe revealed in 2016 that diamonds worth more than $15 billion were been looted in the eastern mining area of Marange.The tragedy of the gun in Zim is that it's controlled by the same 1980s Gukurahundists who've committed atrocities before and gotten away with it; and who are thus prone to repeat the atrocities ad infinitum unless & until the people take control of the gun! #GenerationalRenewal
