I Won’t Be Reporting On Al Jazeera Documentary For My Own Safety - Chin'ono

Hopewell Chin’ono, an award-winning journalist, has decided to stop reporting on a documentary called Gold Mafia by Al Jazeera for his own safety.

The documentary exposes gold smuggling operations in Zimbabwe. 

In a Twitter post seen by Pindula News, Chin’ono said President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s spokesperson, George Charamba, stated that the safety of those who keep reporting on the Al Jazeera documentary was at stake. He said:

Ladies and Gentlemen, After these continued threats from President Mnangagwa’s spokesman against journalists reporting on the Al Jazeera investigation findings, I won’t be reporting on this story for my own safety. George Charamba has made clear the consequences if we continue.

In an article published by Pindula News earlier, Charamba said the documentary is defamatory, therefore, journalists must desist from quoting it. He said:

FRIENDLY ADVICE TO ALL RECKLESS JOURNALISTS: Al-Jazeera is not a court of law before whose claims impart privileges to defamatory utterances. It is merely some weaponised channel. If you are reckless enough to repeat what its phoney documentary defamatorily says, hoping to plead:

“I heard/saw it on Al Jazeera”, you will be sorry for yourself. Do not for once think there is no grit to act against reckless, defamatory and politically motivated journalism. Faceless Twitter names egging you on will not be a factor when brickbats come. Be warned!

Al Jazeera released the first episode of the documentary titled Gold Mafia on Thursday last week.

The documentary implicates a number of prominent individuals in the gold smuggling scandal. These include Henrietta RushwayaUebert AngelSimon Rudland, Lamkesh Pattni.

It also implicates institutions such as Fidelity Printers and Refineries and the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA).

The documentary notes that there is a network of individuals who are exporting gold from Zimbabwe in exchange for dirty money from abroad. The money is then cleaned in Zimbabwe. This is said to be a move to bust sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe.

Smuggling in Zimbabwe:

Smuggling is a big problem in Zimbabwe, and it is hurting the country’s economy.

The country is losing billions of dollars because of the illegal trade of goods like gold, tobacco, fuel, and diamonds.

The government estimates that $1.5 billion is lost each year due to gold smuggling and $300 million due to tobacco smuggling. Fuel shortages have also contributed to smuggling, which results in the loss of revenue for the government. 

Smuggling creates an uneven playing field for legitimate businesses and can increase crime and corruption.

We will not stop breathing because Hopewell has stopped reporting on the Al Jazeera movie.He just wants to draw attention to himself. I read tweets and I still have to see where he exposed corruption.Newshawk does that in Zimbabwe.

Hopewell learned from what is happening to Job Sikhala.We made a mistake by allowing the "crooks sarounding the president" to rule. Power in the wrong hands is more abused.

Authorities always do investigations on the said allegations.The $15B you are harping about was aired by a nonagenarian whose intellectual prowess has diminished to near zero.And those were baseless accusations implicating nobody directly but were political machinations of Grace the graceless.Hopewell knows that publishing false statements prejudicial to the state is treason and that's a crime against the State.Zvekuti hee hee Al jazeera ndiyo sungisai mayaz you're a coconspirator so you become liable to imprisonment for not less than 20 yrs.By Charamba issuing that it means all of you are now aware and by publishing your acts can be described only as reckless.The State will not stand at akimbo while dangerous elements of subversive nature publish offensive material#insights of a progressive youth#

The implicated organizations in the aljezeera documentary has issued several statements to clarify the misunderstandings and confusion rising, but the efforts were rubbished by journalists within and across our borders. Making it impossible, hence the need for such measures from the spokesperson. I'm glad Mr Chin'ono has stops spreading false information, he's hellbend on discrediting the government and we won't allow that!
@Jessica · 1 year ago
kkkkk wena soo u seem to blame chin'ono instead of urging the outhorities to do investigations on the allegations, $15billion was reportedly looted n up to nw not even an inquiry was done n we didn't even heard charamba uttering such threats n we ask u kuti WHY kkkkkkkk n can u tell the whole world kuti wen rushwaya was cought ne that gold ayiendep naro??? we again never heard charamba uttering such threats

I am not taking Chin'ono serious, what he has said is more deadly that reporting after Al Jazeera. Saying "I'll no speak" is actually speaking too loud

I have a couple of questions is Charamba threatening journalists as an individual or he is doing it as President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s spokesman because if it's the latter one God Save Us All. And Suppose he is commenting based on his office as spokesman doesn't that mean the one threatening journalists is actually the office of the President??? Please someone make this clear to me.

It's high time we unite as Africans and stand against Imperialism. Why keeping sanctions against us as a nation. When we find ways to source forex as a nation ,u start to call it smuggling. Just remove the heinous sanctions for free trade to flow in the global market. These blinkered CCC maffias need a shjambok

Sanctions are real · 1 year ago
Sanctions are there and they are real.There are no sanctions on gold exports meaning we can export gold to the USA and Europe. The sanctions are on financial transactions meaning transfer of funds for the gold may be held back. So we exported our gold to UAE where some of the buyers pay cash for the gold.If USD cash are not available small scale miners and makorokoza will simply stop selling gold to Fidelity Refineries.

Yes @Hopeless Journalism cancer machines are some of the top priorities in our healthcare delivery system if you did not know that d.u.m.m.y Maybe you don't have a close relative who has been smitten by cancer so you would't know how important this is I for one love bold journalists like Chin'ono who report on topical issues like these ones not the usual crap spewed by ZBC When you say 'taneta' who else are you speaking for?
