Controversial preacher Uebert Angel, whose real name is Uebert Mudzanhire, is reportedly facing a police investigation following allegations that he hired assassins to kill a rival church leader.
According to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/thestandard/amp/news/article/200026368/police-investigate-uebert-angel-alleged-murder-plot">The Standard</a>, a report was made on April 26 at Harare Central Police Station alleging that Angel was linked to an alleged plot involving two suspected South African hitmen hired to kill Batsirai Java of the Tabernacle of Grace Church in Harare.
Angel, who is President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s special envoy to the Americas and Europe and Java have been involved in a long-running rift feud.
Angel, who is the leader of the GoodNews Church (Spirit Embassy), reportedly accuses Java of extortion and blackmail.
Java was married to late opposition MP and former prime minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s daughter Vimbai, who died following a car accident in 2019.
Batsirai Java is a brother to another Mnangagwa and ZANU PF apologist and self-proclaimed prophet Panganai “Passion” Java.
Last month, Java’s security aide Nigel Dutiro approached the police about the alleged South African assassins.
Dutiro confirmed to The Standard that he made the report under RRB number 141472. He said:
<blockquote>
It’s true. I made a police report because there was a threat to life.
</blockquote>
Dutiro, however, said he could not reveal more details about the report because the matter was now being handled by the police.
The alleged murder plot was exposed by a woman identified as Sharon Munro, who is said to be based in South Africa.
Munro was allegedly in Zimbabwe on March 31 where she was overhead by patrons at an upmarket bar in Borrowdale, Harare, talking about the alleged plot against Java.
She left the country on April 3 via the Robert Mugabe International Airport.
The Standard reported sources as saying the alleged murder plot was supposed to involve two South Africans only identified as Mkhwananzi and Ndimande.
The alleged hitman entered Zimbabwe through Beitbridge and were later transported as far as Harare.
The South Africans returned home without accomplishing the task after the woman allegedly linked to Angel leaked the details of the plot.
Java was last Sunday summoned by the police as part of the investigations. He said:
<blockquote>
l am aware that someone from my church has made a report to the police, and we are waiting for investigations.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said he was yet to get a briefing from Harare police where the matter was reported.
The person who picked up Munro’s phone reportedly said she had no idea what the publication was enquiring about when asked for a comment. She later posted the same questions on her WhatsApp status.
Angel did not respond to questions sent to him by The Standard two weeks ago.
Early last year, Angel was at the centre of a documentary by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit called “Gold Mafia” that exposed illicit gold trade and money laundering by powerful figures in Zimbabwe and the southern African region.
Angel was secretly recorded telling undercover journalists that he could facilitate the smuggling of gold and launder millions of cash by abusing his diplomatic privileges.

Uebert Angel Faces Police Investigation Over Alleged Murder Plot

Controversial Zimbabwean preacher <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Uebert_Angel">Uebert Angel</a> has described Africa’s remaining absolute monarch, King Mswati III of Eswatini, as a compassionate man committed to the welfare of his people.
<a href="https://x.com/UebertAngel/status/1726942460067430547?s=20">Posting on X</a> after meeting King Mswati at his palace in the Eswatini capital, Mbabane, Angel suggested that some sections of the media that depict the monarch as a cruel autocrat who tramples on his people’s rights are biased. He said:
<blockquote>
Having a lighter moment after engaging in a profound exchange with His Majesty, King Mswati III, at his Palace in Mbabane was indeed a tremendous honor.
During this encounter, it became evident that His Majesty differs notably from the depictions often propagated by the media.
I came to witness a man imbued with deep compassion, genuinely invested in the welfare of his nation and unwaveringly devoted to fostering their financial and spiritual well-being.
His consistent advocacy for sincere prayer, even spending an hour in prayer, extending to extensive sessions, serves as a testament to his earnest commitment to the advancement of his people.
With each interaction, I am increasingly acquainted with a monarch whose reverence for prayer permeates our conversations, as we deeply deliberate on his aspirations for Eswatini to emerge as a beacon of global significance.
</blockquote>
Angel, who is Zimbabwe’s Presidential Envoy and Ambassador at Large for Europe and the Americas, is the founder and leader of The Good News Church, formerly Spirit Embassy.
The controversial cleric has been implicated in corrupt activities after he offered to use his diplomatic privileges to carry more than US$1 billion of dirty cash into the country while speaking to Al Jazeera undercover journalists.
Angel’s alleged involvement in money laundering was revealed in a documentary by Al Jazeera titled “Gold Mafia” which premiered early this year.

Uebert Angel Hails King Mswati III As A Champion Of Human Rights

Controversial preacher <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Uebert_Angel">Uebert Angel</a> is reportedly seeking to acquire disused assets and land belonging to Chitungwiza Municipality amid allegations of corruption being levelled against CCC councillors, reported <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/uebert-angels-land-development-proposal-raises-stink-in-chitungwiza/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>.
Billion Group – a company that is allegedly linked to Angel wrote to Chitungwiza Municipality expressed eagerness to acquire land and disused properties to convert them into a hotel, conference centre, shopping mall, service station and construction of a medical centre.
The proposal, which is before the Chitungwiza municipality, has raised concern among the residents of the sprawling town.
Chitungwiza and Manyame Residents Association director Marvelous Khumalo demanded that due diligence should be done to ensure that ratepayers are not shortchanged. Said Khumalo:
<blockquote>
It is bad that Chitungwiza municipality has continued making negative headlines, especially on issues involving the alleged corrupt allocation and management of land and abusing the disposal of public assets.
It is even worse in this instance that this recent alleged case involves “a man of the cloth” Prophet Uebert Angel.
Recently we saw Uebert Angel featuring prominently in another alleged scandal dubbed, the Gold Mafia.
As residents, we wonder what the “man of God” through his company can offer to a struggling municipality like Chitungwiza other than swindling it of its diminishing land.
We urge the council not to pursue these self-serving corrupt deals that are meant to benefit a few connected elites hiding behind religious robes at the expense of millions of residents and ratepayers as well as the quality of service delivery.
</blockquote>
Earlier this year, Angel was exposed by Aljazeera investigative journalists at the centre of a money laundering racket, but the preacher claimed that he was merely acting.
Meanwhile, an official at the Chitungwiza municipality was reported as saying concern over the proposal is premature as the councillors have not made a decision yet. Said the official:
<blockquote>
When a company or an institution comes to express interest, a council meeting is called the company presents.
It is not the duty of the council to find out whose company has expressed interest as it would be discriminatory based on political lines.
When a company expresses interest the idea can be adopted or rejected.

Uebert Angel’s Land Development Proposal Worries Chitungwiza Residents

The appointment of Zimbabwean preacher Uebert Angel as the African Union’s Pan African Parliament (PAP) Ambassador for Interfaith Dialogue and Humanitarian Affairs has been revoked and terminated.
In a letter dated 28 August 2023 and addressed to Angel, the new Acting President of the Pan African Parliament, Dr. Gayo Asherbiri said the appointment was unprocedural.
The letter, which was copied to the Chairman of the Africa Union Commission (AUC) Moussa Faki Mahamat, the 3rd Vice President of PAP Lucia Maria Mendes Goncalves dos Passos, and the PAP Clerk Lindiwe Kumalo, read in part:
<blockquote>
We noted that your name was announced recently as having been appointed as an ambassador for the pan-African Parliament.
Nearly all current members of PAP wondered how the appointment was done as it was not tabled in any bureau or plenary meeting stating the reasons for the appointment and likely benefits to PAP or Africa in general.
The minutes of said meetings would have also indicated a proposer and seconder from amongst bureau members or honorable PAP members as standard AU approval process of such appointments that leads to diplomatic status. 
Consequently; I am mandated by the current bureau and current members of PAP to advise the Prophet that the said appointment is hereby revoked.
The purported ambassadorial PAP has been declared null and void with immediate effect.
</blockquote>
Angel was appointed Presidential Envoy and Ambassador at Large for Europe and the Americas by Emmerson Mnangagwa on 17 March 2021.
Early this year, an Al Jazeera documentary called “Gold Mafia” alleged that Angel offered to use his status to assist Al Jazeera reporters who posed as Chinese nationals launder millions of dollars through a gold-smuggling scheme.

Uebert Angel’s Appointment As PAP Ambassador Revoked

Controversial preacher Uebert Angel has reportedly donated 5 600 bags of foodstuffs to ZANU PF supporters.
According to the Twitter handle @zanupf_patriots, Angel made the donation this Wednesday. <a href="https://twitter.com/zanupf_patriots/status/1681360787376308239?s=20">It said</a>:

</blockquote>
Angel was appointed Presidential Envoy and Ambassador at Large for Europe and the Americas by President Emmerson Mnangagwa on 17 March 2021.
He is also a self-proclaimed prophet and the founder and leader of Good News Church, formerly Spirit Embassy.
Angel claims God uses him to heal the sick and predict the outcomes of elections and football matches.
In early 2021, an Al Jazeera documentary called “Gold Mafia” alleged that Angel offered to use his status to assist Al Jazeera reporters who posed as Chinese nationals launder millions of dollars through a gold-smuggling scheme.
Angel claimed that President Emmerson Mnangagwa was aware of his schemes. He said in one of the episodes:
<blockquote>
I can call the president now, not tomorrow, now and put him on speaker, it’s not an issue. We are the government.
</blockquote>
Despite being caught on camera bragging that he could use his diplomatic cover to carry large volumes of dirty cash into Zimbabwe as part of a laundering operation also involving gold smuggling, Angel was recently appointed as the African Union’s Pan African Parliament (PAP) Ambassador for Interfaith Dialogue and Humanitarian Affairs.

PAP, also known as the African Parliament, is an assembly that was founded to serve as the legislative (law-making) branch of the African Union.
It exercises oversight and has advisory and consultative powers.
Nehanda Radio reported a source as saying Angel will be among five individuals who will be at the forefront in spearheading initiatives aimed at fostering dialogue among different faiths. Said the source:
<blockquote>
Ambassador Angel’s extensive knowledge, influential network, and commitment to fostering unity among diverse religious communities is what saw him emerge as an ideal candidate for this vital role.
He will be part of five individuals from diverse regions in the African continent spearheading initiatives aimed at fostering dialogue, understanding, and cooperation among different faiths.
His experience in leading Spirit Embassy, a Christian organization with a global reach and registered members who go well over 3.5 million as of their last count, provides him with deep insights into religious diversity and the promotion of mutual respect.
This appointment is a testament to the belief in his ability to bridge gaps and cultivate harmony within society.
He will emphasize the importance of religious tolerance, respect, and understanding as essential foundations for peaceful coexistence within African communities.

Uebert Angel Appointed African Union's African Parliament Ambassador

Mahinda Rajapaksa, the former President of Sri Lanka has denied having any links with Pastor Jerome Fernando or Zimbabwean Pastor <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Uebert_Angel/">Uebert Angel</a>.
The authorities are investigating links between former Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa and preachers Uebert Angel and Jerome Fernando. Fernando is being investigated for controversial statements he made about Buddhism and other religions. A complaint was lodged with the criminal investigations department against him. Zimbabwean preacher Uebert Angel has been <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2023/05/06/al-jazeera-speaks-on-president-mnangagwas-unrecorded-call-from-uebert-angel/">accused of offering to launder money through a gold-smuggling scheme</a> and claimed he had the approval of Zimbabwe’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa. The authorities have said they will look into the links between the preachers and Rajapaksa as part of ongoing investigations.
Mahinda Rajapaksa stated that he had met the preachers only once when Pastor Jerome’s office sought a meeting during Rajapaksa’s time as Prime Minister.
Rajapaksa condemned the recent derogatory remarks made by Pastor Jerome against religions, stating that there is no room for communal disharmony or hatred in Sri Lanka.
He clarified that the meeting was cordial and had taken place as an official meeting during his tenure as Prime Minister and Minister of Religious Affairs. The former president reiterated his condemnation of the recent statements made by ‘one of these individuals’ against religions. <a href="https://www.dailymirror.lk/top_story/I-have-no-connections-with-Uebert-Angel-or-Jerome-Fernando-MR/155-259397">Daily Mirror</a> quotes him as saying:
<blockquote>
I strongly condemn remarks made by any individuals who attempt to cause communal disharmony in Sri Lanka especially when we fought hard as a nation to bring in unity and end all divisions.
I have no links to the Zimbabwean Pastor Uebert Angel or Pastor Jerome Fernando but I recall that there was a request from Pastor Jerome’s office to meet me when I was the Prime Minister.
It was a cordial meeting during which both the Pastors conducted a small prayer meeting with me and my wife. Since it was an official meeting, the pictures were released to the media. I have met Pastor Jerome and Uebert Angel only during that instance and have held no other meetings with them nor do I have any personal connections with either.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
As the Prime Minister and Minister in charge of Religious Affairs at that time I always gave priority to meeting with religious heads as well as those connected to religious establishments as a part of a goodwill gesture and in order to see what issues they faced.
</blockquote>
In Sri Lanka, Buddhism is the largest religion, with 70.2% of the population practising this religion. Hindus make up 12.6% of the population, Muslims make up 9.7%, and Christians make up 7.4%.

Former Sri Lankan President Rajapaksa Denies Links To Pastors Fernando, Uebert Angel

Senior Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) officials say Uebert Angel (real surname Mudzanire) misled the public when he claimed that what people saw on Al Jazeera’s investigative documentary “Gold Mafia” “was not real; it was acting” as part of “a classified national intelligence assignment”.
Speaking after the final episode of the Gold Mafia documentary titled “Have The King With You”, Angel’s lawyer Lovemore Madhuku, said his client was working with national intelligence.
Madhuku said that after Angel was approached by the purported investors, he consulted the national intelligence to do security checks on them and was advised that something suspicious was going on.
However, senior CIO officers who spoke to <a href="https://thenewshawks.com/cio-bosses-dismiss-uebert-angel-claims-on-their-role-in-gold-mafia/">The NewsHawks</a> dismissed Angel’s assertions saying there was no CIO operation of the nature Angel claims. Said the senior CIO officer:
<blockquote>
What Angel said through his lawyer is fiction. There was no such an intelligence operation.
In any case, even if it was there he would not be the one to speak about it.
He doesn’t work for CIO and knows nothing about how it operates and its internal dynamics.
He doesn’t know what he is talking about, but what he said is being viewed and taken seriously.
It will be acted upon. There will be an internal process to deal with that.
</blockquote>
Another CIO boss said President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Envoy and Ambassador-at-Large was “waffling”. Said the official:
<blockquote>
He was just waffling. How would he know of our operations that we who work don’t know anything about? There is no such thing.
It’s just a smokescreen to cover his tracks and protect the chefs (Mnangagwa and Auxillia). In fact, the whole thing is ridiculous.
If that was an intelligence operation, it would be more serious, clinical and sophisticated, not mahumbwe aya (child’s play).
Intelligence operations of that nature are not child’s play.
</blockquote>
The Gold Mafia investigation by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit (I-Unit) is a four-part documentary that revealed a series of gold smuggling gangs in Southern Africa.
The gangs help criminals launder hundreds of millions of dollars, getting rich themselves while plundering their nations.
They turn dirty cash into clean, seemingly legitimate money for those with large amounts of unaccounted wealth.
The gangs do so by using a complex web of companies, counterfeit identities and fake documents.

CIO Bosses Scoff At Uebert Angel Claims On Their Role In "Gold Mafia"

A British Member of Parliament in the House of Lords, which is the British Upper House of Parliament, has requested that Uebert Angel and Rikki Doolan, who is married to his niece Nicola, be investigated for alleged gold smuggling, money laundering, and corruption.
Lord Jonathan Oates has also demanded that Angel and Doolan’s assets be frozen since they are also UK citizens.
This follows the release of Al Jazeera’s latest investigation, Gold Mafia, which exposed gangs allegedly driving gold smuggling and money laundering worth billions of dollars in Southern Africa.
Angel, who is President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s special envoy and ambassador-at-large to Europe and the Americas, offered to Al Jazeera’s undercover reporters that he could use his diplomatic cover to carry large volumes of dirty cash into Zimbabwe as part of a laundering operation also involving gold smuggling.
Doolan repeatedly told Al Jazeera’s undercover reporters who posed as gangsters that he and Angel would be able to arrange a meeting with President Mnangagwa.
Lord Oates raised the issues during a written questions-for-answers session in the House of Peers at the Pace of Westminster in London. The questions read:
<blockquote>
Lord Oates to ask His Majesty’s Government what steps they will take, if any, to address the allegations of criminal activity made against British citizens in the Al Jazeera documentary, Gold Mafia.
Lord Oates to ask His Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of allegations of corruption and money laundering contained in the Al Jazeera documentary Gold Mafia, and what steps, if any, they will take to freeze assets held in the UK or dependent territories by those who have been (1) alleged to have engaged in, and (2) found guilty of, financial crime.
Lord Oates to ask His Majesty’s Government what steps they will take, if any, to investigate alleged discrepancies in the application that Uebert Angel, Zimbabwe’s Ambassador at Large, made for British citizenship.
Lord Oates to ask His Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of allegations against British citizens made in the Al Jazeera documentary, Gold Mafia; and what steps they will take, if any, to investigate the activities of companies whose named directors are alleged to have been involved in a conspiracy to commit financial crime.
Lord Oates to ask His Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of whether British citizen Uebert Angel should retain diplomatic status as Zimbabwe’s Ambassador at Large.
</blockquote>
In June 2022, Lord Oates criticised the Zimbabwean government for putting the Nyatsime 16 in leg irons, saying it damaged the country’s reputation around the world.

Gold Mafia: British MP Demands Uebert Angel's Assets Be Frozen

Zimbabwean businessman and alleged gold smuggler Ewan Macmillan says he is done bribing politicians to smuggle gold out of the country.
Macmillan (aka Mr. Gold) was featured in the final episode of the Gold Mafia Al Jazeera documentary titled “Have The King With You” released on Friday, 14 April.
Speaking to the undercover journalists who posed as Chinese gangsters who wanted to wash dirty money, Macmillan said:
<blockquote>
I will never go down that road again. You pay, you pay, you pay, you pay and you pay.
And you think this is so much money. Why am I paying this much money?
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Ambassador at Large and Presidential Envoy to Europe and the Americas, Uebert Angel, was also filmed by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit (I-Unit) deriding Macmillan, saying he was no longer “Mr. Gold” and had been overtaken by his former employee Pedzisai “Scott” Sakupwanya.
Angel also showed the reporters pictures of Sakupwanya flaunting his US$5 million cash and some gold bars on 29 June 2020. He said:
<blockquote>
He is the biggest gold guy in Zimbabwe. He’s right there, he’s in his house, sleeping on five million U.S. dollars.
This guy used to clean MacMillan’s car. Macmillan was the one that this one worked for. It’s good we know it’s Macmillan.
Macmillan doesn’t control nothing. This was his worker cleaning his car. He is the number one now in Zimbabwe.
Scott is number one. Number one without a doubt. We can just call him right now.
</blockquote>
Angel then called Sakupwanya in the presence of the undercover reporters. He said:
<blockquote>
So I’ve got some good investors for you here. They are hearing you already. From January, what have you gotten right now? What have you sold?
</blockquote>
Scott said he had sold six tonnes of gold in 10 months. When Angel asked about what happens when someone invests with him, Sakupwanya said:
<blockquote>
I guess I can take ten percent per month.
</blockquote>
He said if he gets cash from someone, he gives them ten percent per month for the money they invest with him.
Scott said the investors are 100 per guaranteed to get a return for their investment.
On being asked by Angel how he moves the money back to the investor, he said:
<blockquote>
It depends on where they are from. If they are from Dubai, I can pay into their Dubai account… Anywhere, anywhere in the world, I can manage to do the transfer. Not a problem for me.
</blockquote>
According to Angel, Sakupwanya has managed to keep his wealth, and proceeds to gold, due to his loyalty to Mnangagwa. He said:
<blockquote>
Because he is (pointing above, to indicate that he is Mnangagwa’s man) … and the president.
</blockquote>
According to Al Jazeera, the gold smugglers carry Zimbabwe’s gold to Dubai, where it is then sold in exchange for clean cash.
This money is transferred to the bank accounts of the money launderers, who hand over an equivalent amount of their dirty dollars to the Zimbabwe government through the smugglers.

Gold Mafia: Macmillan Says He's Done Bribing Politicians To Smuggle Gold

Self-proclaimed prophet Uebert Angel has denied allegations against him in the Al Jazeera Gold Mafia documentary.
Angel, who was appointed Ambassador at Large and Presidential Envoy to Europe and the Americas by President Emmerson Mnangagwa in 2021, said his words and actions filmed by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit (I-Unit), were staged and a classified national intelligence operation.
Addressing journalists in Harare on Friday soon after the final episode of the Gold Mafia documentary titled “Have The King With You”, Angel’s lawyer Lovemore Madhuku, said his client was working with national intelligence.
He said that after Angel was approached by the purported investors, he consulted the national intelligence to do security checks on them and was advised that something suspicious was going on. Madhuku was quoted by <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/uebert-angel-finally-speaks-on-gold-mafia-claims-it-was-all-an-act-a-classified-national-intelligence-operation/">NewZimbabwe.com</a> as saying:
<blockquote>
This interaction led to what we are calling a classified national intelligence assignment which meant a decision was taken with intelligence authorities that he would play along and would not cancel his interactions with these persons, he would meet them as if he was going to make arrangements for them to meet the president and be able to do investments in Zimbabwe.
So it was in the context of a national intelligence operation, Zimbabwe wanted to gain intelligence out of it, and wanted to see how far its enemies could go and what the agendas were.
Ordinarily, these things are not told to the world but because of the intensity and implications of the documentary on the integrity of the operations of governmental systems in this country, my client felt obliged that he has a moral obligation to at least give an indication of what was going on.
</blockquote>
Madhuku also claimed that the purported calls to First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa and Zimbabwe Miners Federation president Henrietta Rushwaya as shown in the documentary were made to decoys. He said:
<blockquote>
In that documentary, all the things that are said, no one was phoned, the first lady or Henrietta Rushwaya were decoys that were put in an intelligence operation. So even the statements that you hear are not real.
If you were to put it very boldly or mildly, they were acting along and it’s unfortunate that according to the version we are putting it is unfortunate that it is national security issues that are then played in public because of the agenda of these people which then forces issues that ordinarily would not be put on the table.
</blockquote>
Last month Angel’s office, the Office of Presidential Envoy and Ambassador at Large (OPEAAL), responded to the Al Jazeera documentary and denied that he was involved in money laundering and gold smuggling.
In his press conference on Friday, Madhuku essentially <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/uebert-angels-office-responds-to-al-jazeera-documentary/">repeated what the Chief Investment Officer at OPEAAL Sobona Mtisi said last month</a>. Mtisi’s statement read in part:
<blockquote>
The calls to the decoys were made in light of the leading questions asked by the “investors”.
They kept pushing to have the First Family in the discussion, especially the First Lady and the President.
They even threw in figures to help in the charity organisation which Ambassador Angel refused and even told them he had his own money; this part was omitted from the documentary.
It’s just amazing how people are made to believe what has been propagated as the gospel.
The best these people got are the audios from the decoys, they never got the chance to film the President or the First Lady because the Ambassador was already informed by the security agents prior to getting in the meeting that they didn’t have the money they claimed to have.
</blockquote>
Angel’s assets were recently frozen by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe’s Financial Intelligence Unit.
Reports suggest Angel is likely to face money laundering charges and allegations of name-dropping.

Gold Mafia: Uebert Angel Says it Was All An Act, A Classified National Intelligence Operation

Uebert Angel’s lawyer Lovemore Madhuku on Friday told the media that his client had no personal relationship with the First Family.
He was responding to the Gold Mafia documentary, a four-part investigation by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit (I-Unit).
Angel was one of the key figures in the documentary where he allegedly offered to launder cash into the country using his diplomatic status.
During his encounters with the undercover reporters, Angel was secretly recorded boasting about his close relations with Mnangagwa and how much power he wields as a result.
Madhuku said Angel was appointed Zimbabwe’s Ambassador at Large and Presidential Envoy to Europe and the Americas and his relationship with President Emmerson Mnangagwa was that of a superior and subordinate. Madhuku said:
<blockquote>
My client wants to put right across that he has never ever done anything on behalf of the President, no deals or activities on behalf of the President.
His relationship with the President of the Republic ED Mnangagwa is one of superior and subordinate.
My client wants to make it clear that he has no relationship or whatsoever with members of the President’s family, he only has a relationship with the President which is a formal professional relationship.
He wants to tell you that he has never met with the First Lady because his relationship is with the President.
</blockquote>
Lovemore Madhuku also denied that Angel was involved in any criminal activity. He said:
<blockquote>
My client wants it known that he has not been, has never been, and will never be involved in any criminal activities.
He would like it to be stated that he has never been involved in any gold smuggling nor has he ever been engaged in money laundering by whatever name it’s called so the insinuations in the Al Jazeera documentary are only baseless.
He is not on Zimbabwe pay, he is working for the interests of the country at the outset.
As soon as my client was appointed it was made known to the whole world that he will be the President’s ambassador-at-large.
There were several people in Europe and other parts of the world that wanted investments in the country with his facilitation, that is a fact.
</blockquote>
In the fourth installment of “Gold Mafia” titled “Have The King With You” that was premiered on Friday, 14 April 2023, Angel allegedly asked First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa for her help to launder US$1.2 billion.

Gold Mafia: Lovemore Madhuku Says Uebert Angel's Relationship With Mnangagwa Is Formal

Self-proclaimed prophet Uebert Angel has claimed that ZANU PF politician Pedzisai Sakupwanya, also known as Scott, is Zimbabwe’s number one gold dealer.
Angel was appointed Zimbabwe’s Ambassador at Large and Presidential Envoy to Europe and the Americas by President Emmerson Mnangagwa in 2021.
He made the remarks while speaking to Al Jazeera undercover reporters, who were pretending to be Chinese criminals looking to launder more than US$100 million of undeclared wealth.
This was revealed in the fourth and final episode of the “Gold Mafia” documentary titled “Have The King With You” that was premiered on Friday, 14 April 2023.
Angel also claimed that Scott used to wash cars for Ewan Macmillan and has overtaken his former boss in the gold industry. Said Angel:
<blockquote>
He is the biggest gold guy in Zimbabwe. He’s right there, he’s in his house, sleeping on five million U.S. dollars.
This guy used to clean MacMillan’s car. Macmillan was the one that this one worked for. It’s good we know it’s Macmillan.
Macmillan doesn’t control nothing. This was his worker cleaning his car. He is the number one now in Zimbabwe.
Scott is number one. Number one without a doubt. We can just call him right now.
</blockquote>
Angel then called Sakupwanya in the presence of the undercover reporters. He said:
<blockquote>
So I’ve got some good investors for you here. They are hearing you already. From January, what have you gotten right now? What have you sold?
</blockquote>
Scott said he had sold six tonnes of gold in 10 months. When Angel asked about what happens when someone invests with him, Sakupwanya said:
<blockquote>
I guess I can take ten percent per month.
</blockquote>
He said if he gets cash from someone, he gives them ten percent per month for the money they invest with him. 
Scott said the “investors” are 100 per guaranteed to get a return for their investment.
On being asked by Angel how he moves the money back to the investor, he said:
<blockquote>
It depends on where they are from. If they are from Dubai, I can pay into their Dubai account… Anywhere, anywhere in the world, I can manage to do the transfer. Not a problem for me.
</blockquote>
According to Al Jazeera, the gold smugglers carry Zimbabwe’s gold to Dubai, where it is then sold in exchange for clean cash.
This money is transferred to the bank accounts of the money launderers, who hand over an equivalent amount of their dirty dollars to the Zimbabwe government through the smugglers.
Angel’s assets were recently frozen by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe’s Financial Intelligence Unit.
Reports suggest  Angel is likely to face money laundering charges and allegations of name-dropping.
Angel, through his lawyer Lovemore Madhuku, on Thursday postponed responding to the Gold Mafia documentary saying he will do so once the fourth and final episode is released.
A 2020 report by the International Crisis Group (ICG) said gold worth US$1.5 billion was smuggled out of Zimbabwe every year by syndicates linked to political elites.

Gold Mafia: Scott Sakupwanya Says He Takes 10% From Investors

A self-proclaimed prophet, Uebert Angel, who has been exposed as an alleged money launderer and gold smuggler in the “Gold Mafia” documentary by Al Jazeera will respond through his lawyer Lovemore Madhuku.
Angel was appointed Zimbabwe’s Ambassador at Large and Presidential Envoy to Europe and the Americas by President Emmerson Mnangagwa in 2021.
Madhuku has said that he will hold a press conference this Thursday in response to the Al Jazeera documentary.
The press conference will be held the same day Al Jazeera will release the final episode of the four-series documentary.
<a href="https://www.zimmorningpost.com/gold-mafia-ambassador-at-large-eubert-angel-presses-panic-button/">Zim Morning Post</a> reported top government sources as saying Angel is likely to face money laundering charges and allegations of name-dropping. Said the official:
<blockquote>
The authorities are looking into his role in trying to assist those who are laundering money. The law is very clear on this and measures will be taken.
</blockquote>
According to S8(4) of the Money Laundering &amp; Proceeds of Crime Act, “association with or conspiracy to commit, an attempt to commit, and aiding, abetting, facilitating and counselling the commission of money laundering is an offence.”
According to the Al Jazeera documentary, Angel offered undercover reporters who posed as investors that he could use his diplomatic cover to carry large volumes of dirty cash into Zimbabwe as part of a laundering operation also involving gold smuggling.
He repeatedly claimed that Mnangagwa was aware of his schemes, adding:
<blockquote>
I can call the president now, not tomorrow, now and put him on speaker, it’s not an issue. We are the government.
</blockquote>
Angel is the founder and leader of Good News Church, formerly Spirit Embassy, and claims he can heal the sick and predict the outcomes of elections and football matches.
He did not respond to Al Jazeera’s request for a formal comment about the investigation.

Gold Mafia: Madhuku Comes To Uebert Angel's Defence

ZANU PF politician and gold dealer Pedzisai “Scott” Sakupwanya has been named Zimbabwe’s biggest gold baron by Uebert Angel in a documentary by Qatar-based news network Al Jazeera titled Gold Mafia.
Angel, who is a British-Zimbabwean businessman, was appointed Ambassador at Large to Europe and the Americas by President Emmerson Mnangagwa in 2021.
In a snippet of the fourth and final instalment of Gold Mafia, Angel tells undercover reporters who posed as investors that Sakupawanya is a bigger gold dealer than Ewan MacMillan. He said:
<blockquote>
MacMillan doesn’t control nothing. This (Sakupwanya) was his worker cleaning his car. He is the number one now in Zimbabwe.
</blockquote>
MacMillan, a self-confessed gold smuggler, also features in the Al Jazeera documentary.
Angel also shows the reporters pictures of Sakupwanya flaunting his US$5 million cash and some gold bars on 29 June 2020. He said:
<blockquote>
He’s right there, he’s in his house, sleeping on five million US dollars.
</blockquote>
Sakupwanya is a ZANU PF councillor in Mabvuku and is the ruling party’s aspiring parliamentary candidate for Mabvuku Constituency.
He owns Better Brands Jewellery (BBJ) and other gold dealers operating in Mazowe and Penhalonga.

Gold Mafia: Scott Sakupwanya Number One Gold Baron In Zim, Says Uebert Angel

Uebert Angel’s personal assistant, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Rikki_Doolan">Rikki Doolan</a>, has dismissed the Al Jazeera documentary titled “Gold Mafia”, saying it has been edited to portray a false narrative.
The Al Jazeera Investigative Unit identified Doolan as part of an alleged “band of criminals driving gold smuggling and money laundering worth billions of dollars in Southern Africa.”
Doolan, who is a pastor in Angel’s Good News Church and a musician told Al Jazeera’s undercover reporters that he and Angel would be able to arrange a meeting with President Emmerson President Mnangagwa.
During the meetings with the undercover reporters, Doolan said money laundering would not be a challenge “as long as you grease the wheels.”
Responding to the two episodes that have so far been premiered, that is, The Laundry Service and Smoke and Mirrors, Doolan said:
<blockquote>
The documentary circulating right now is brutally edited to portray a false narrative.
I’m not a gold dealer, and I never have been, so what they are pushing is a false narrative.

Al Jazeera Documentary "Brutally Edited" - Rikki Doolan

George Charamba, the presidential spokesperson, has said Uebert Angel remains Zimbabwe’s Ambassador-at-Large and has not been stripped of his ambassadorial status.
Charamba <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/gold-mafia-uebert-angel-loses-ambassadorial-role/">earlier intimated that</a> the self-proclaimed prophet, who was appointed Zimbabwe’s Ambassador at Large and Presidential Envoy to Europe and the Americas in 2021, has lost his role.
He was responding to one Ba’Zuva on Twitter who had asked why “Uebert Angel have his diplomatic status revoked if the Al Jazeera documentary, #GoldMafia was much ado about nothing”. Charamba, using one of his accounts “Tinoedza Zvimwe”. He said:
<blockquote>
Appointment to a diplomatic post means you further the interests and image of the country which appoints you as a representative of the Head of State of that country.
Once your actions run counter to both objectives, you are stripped of that title and all which goes with it.
This basic remedial ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION stands quite apart from any legal action your actions might attract. It is that simple.
You serve at the mercy of the appointing authority for as long he retains trust and confidence in you and in your competence to keep and protect the dignity of the STATE! Understood?
</blockquote>
But in <a href="https://twitter.com/Tinoedzazvimwe1/status/1641728237070962689">another Twitter post</a> later on Friday, Charamba, using the same Twitter handle “Tinoedza Zvimwe”, said:
<blockquote>
CLARIFYING ON THE STATUS OF AMBASSADOR-AT-LARGE HUBERT ANGEL:
Following claims circulating in social media that Zimbabwe’s Ambassador-at-Large, Ambassador Hubert Angel has been stripped of his ambassadorial status, kindly be advised that His Excellency the President, Dr. ED who is the sole appointing authority of all Ambassadors representing the State of Zimbabwe, HAS NOT TAKEN SUCH A STEP.
The Ambassador-at-Large remains in that status and executes all his duties as outlined at the time of his appointment. Please be so advised.
</blockquote>
Angel was recently exposed by undercover Al Jazeera journalists allegedly offering to launder US$1.2 billion using his diplomatic cover.
In the first episode of the Al Jazeera documentary, titled “Gold Mafia: The Laundry Service”, Angel is seen calling Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) president Henrietta Rushwaya in the presence of the undercover reporters.
Angel made the calls in an attempt to convince the “investors” that he was able to facilitate the laundering of more than a billion US dollars in cash.

Uebert Angel Remains Zimbabwe’s Ambassador-at-Large - George Charamba

Uebert Angel has allegedly been stripped of his diplomatic status as Zimbabwe’s Ambassador at Large and Presidential Envoy to Europe and the Americas.
The ambassadorial role came with the responsibility for Angel to seek trade and investment opportunities for the country of Zimbabwe.
However, Angel was recently exposed by undercover Al Jazeera journalists offering to launder US$1.2 billion using his diplomatic cover.
In the first episode of the Al Jazeera documentary, titled “Gold Mafia: The Laundry Service”, Angel is seen calling Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) president Henrietta Rushwaya in the presence of the undercover reporters.

Gold Mafia: Uebert Angel Loses Ambassadorial Role

First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa and her son Emmerson Junior will most likely feature in Al Jazeera’s “Gold Mafia” documentary, with three out of four episodes yet to be premiered, it has emerged.
This was revealed by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Ambassador At Large Uebert Angel in a statement released on Saturday as his office tried to clear his name after undercover Al Jazeera journalists showed him offering to launder US$1.2 billion boasting that he was the second-most-powerful person in Zimbabwe.
In the first episode of the documentary, titled “The Laundry Service”, Angel is seen calling Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) president Henrietta Rushwaya in the presence of the undercover reporters.
Angel made the calls in an attempt to convince the “investors” that he was able to facilitate the laundering of more than a billion US dollars in cash.
However, in a statement on Saturday, Angel’s office said during his interactions with the Al Jazeera crew, he suspected that they were not genuine and decided to use “decoys”.
Angel inadvertently revealed that the President’s wife and son will feature in the documentary when he said “these decoys… posed as Henrietta Rushwaya, the First Lady and the First Son”.
A statement released on his behalf by the Chief Investment Officer in the Office of Presidential Envoy and Ambassador at Large (OPEAAL), Sobona Mtisi, read in part:
<blockquote>
After these suspicions, the team switched to ‘red’ protocol, with the decision to proceed with extreme caution, be in the middle, and play along, and never to facilitate a meeting between the “investors” and the His Excellency, the President.
With this knowledge, and at the insistence of the “investors” Ambassador Angel made several calls to decoys working with our office.
It is these decoys who posed as Henrietta Rushwaya, the First Lady, and the First Son.
The calls to the decoys were made in light of the leading questions asked by the “investors”.
They kept pushing to have the First Family in the discussion, especially the First Lady and the President.
They even threw in figures to help in the charity organisation which Ambassador Angel refused and even told them he had his own money; this part was omitted from the documentary.
It’s just amazing how people are made to believe what has been propagated as gospel.
The best these people got are the audios from the decoys, they never got the chance to film the President or the First Lady because the Ambassador was already informed by the security agents prior to getting in the meeting that they didn’t have the money they claimed to have.
However, as aforementioned, we battled with what if the intelligence is wrong and the country loses the much-needed investment.
The decoys helped in asserting that if they were real investors, we would be able to get it from their reactions after the call.
There is no way Ambassador Angel could get hold of the First Lady and First Son without pre-arrangements and standard security clearance procedures in place in meeting with the First Family.
Moreover, the Ambassador has never met the First Lady. They never met and never had any direct dealings.
It would have been prudent for these “investors” to verify if the calls were indeed made to the people that Ambassador claimed to be calling.

Uebert Angel Reveals First Family Features In Al Jazeera documentary

The Office of Presidential Envoy and Ambassador at Large (OPEAAL), has responded to the Al Jazeera documentary which alleged that Uebert Angel is involved in money laundering and gold smuggling and is part of the “gold mafia”.
A statement released by the Chief Investment Officer at OPEAAL Sobona Mtisi in response to the documentary reads:
RESPONSE TO ALJAZEERA DOCUMENTARY
1. Following the release of the Aljazeera documentary titled The Gold Mafia, there has been a lot of misinformation, speculation, and deliberate efforts to scandalise the Presidential Envoy and Ambassador at Large, H.E Ambassador Uebert Angel. This statement serves to clarify some of the issues raised. These “investors” called the OPEAAL office, were referred to me, and I met with them. I was present at all the meetings, I know what happened and speak in my own capacity.
2. To start with, this was not a secret investigation as portrayed to the public. For the record, our meetings with them were never secret as is now being portrayed to the public. We met in public places and never in hidden places. I am not at liberty to give reasons because of the legal ramifications if the Office of the Ambassador at Large decides to pursue the legal route.
3. Ambassador Angel was appointed by His Excellency President Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa mainly to facilitate investments into Zimbabwe. The Ambassador At-Large’s Office receives inquiries from prospective investors and facilitates the formalisation of their investments. As the Chief Investment Officer, I engage with potential investors with the view to guide them on the policy and procedures in the sectors of their interest. I also help them to navigate government bureaucracy and facilitate meetings with relevant officials from the public and private sectors. The Ambassador is never the final port of call for any investor. Our office is one of the key starting points for any investor. The decision to invest or not invest is solely at the discretion of the investor. Importantly, all investments have to be registered via the relevant Government agencies.
4. The criminals in the Al Jazeera documentary approached Ambassador Angel fully aware of his position and integrity. They posed as investors from a company called Philips Long, Hong Kong, which represented high-net-worth individuals who were keen to invest outside of Hong Kong. The reason they gave for wanting to move their capital out of Hong Kong was their perceived political risk in Hong Kong. To mitigate their perceived medium to long-term political risk to their capital, they were considering investing in Zimbabwe. We welcomed the opportunity to bring that capital into Zimbabwe. This was the basis for the meetings that we had with “Lee Sin Tong, Investment Adviser for Philips Long “and “Mr Lee, the Fund Manager for Philips Long”, with the view to bring their planned investment to Zimbabwe. They presented a proposal for a casino and gold trading hub at Victoria Falls with the view to registering on the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange. As patriotic Zimbabweans, we thought their planned investment will enhance Victoria Falls as a prime destination for tourism and create much-needed employment. This was our view. They never presented themselves as criminals needing help to launder money or do something illegal.
5. Our preliminary meetings with investors are aimed at understanding broadly the sector(s) that they want to invest in, their capacity to invest, and previous investing experience. In short, it’s a light touch verification process to enable our office to facilitate meetings with relevant government agencies or private sector players. Part of my meetings with investors is to assess whether a meeting with the Ambassador is warranted. It is at the Ambassador’s discretion to arrange a meeting with the investors and His Excellency, the President, as a way of keeping His Excellency informed of new investments coming into the country in line with OPEAAL’s mandate and Vision 2030.
This is the context within which the meetings were held with the “potential investors”, whom we now know as Al Jazeera journalists. The documentary apparently edits out this context for the obvious reason of wanting to misrepresent facts with the intention of wanting to tarnish the Ambassador’s image and portray Zimbabwe in a negative image. I leave the fact that this documentary is aired prior to our elections to people more qualified than me.
6. In our meetings with these “investors” the discussion shifted to requests of meeting with His Excellency, the President. Ambassador Angel questioned the request. The Ambassador further told them that his word is as good as the President’s word, and it is not necessary to meet the President immediately. He then consulted with the security experts at the organisation’s disposal with regard to the strange request for a meeting with the His Excellency, the President. Ambassador immediately blocked the “investor’s” requests for a meeting with His Excellency, the President. Ambassador’s view was that it’s never standard practice, anywhere in the world, that each and every investor who wants to invest in any country meets the President of that country.
7. Given this strange request, Ambassador Angel suspected something was amiss. He consulted with the Security Experts attached to the OPEAAL, who further advised against arranging a meeting with the President. There was a consensus among the OPEAAL team and security experts that these individuals might not be genuine investors. The challenge was what if the team’s suspicions were wrong, and the country loses billions in investment. On the other hand, what if the team’s suspicions were proved right, what were the implications of meeting these “investors”?
8. After these suspicions, the team switched to ‘red’ protocol, with the decision to proceed with extreme caution, be in the middle, and play along, and never to facilitate a meeting between the “investors” and the His Excellency, the President. With this knowledge, and at the insistence of the “investors” Ambassador Angel made several calls to decoys working with our office. It is these decoys who posed as Henrietta Rushwaya, the First Lady, and the First Son.
9. The calls to the decoys were made in light of the leading questions asked by the “investors”. They kept pushing to have the First Family in the discussion, especially the First Lady and the President. They even threw in figures to help in the charity organisation which Ambassador Angel refused and even told them he had his own money; this part was omitted from the documentary. It’s just amazing how people are made to believe what has been propagated as gospel. The best these people got are the audios from the decoys, they never got the chance to film the President or the First Lady because the Ambassador was already informed by the security agents prior to getting in the meeting that they didn’t have the money they claimed to have. However, as aforementioned, we battled with what if the intelligence is wrong and the country loses the much-needed investment. The decoys helped in asserting that if they were real investors, we would be able to get it from their reactions after the call.
10. There is no way Ambassador Angel could get hold of the First Lady and First Son without pre-arrangements and standard security clearance procedures in place in meeting with the First Family. Moreover, the Ambassador has never met the First Lady. They never met and never had any direct dealings. It would have been prudent for these “investors” to verify if the calls were indeed made to the people that Ambassador claimed to be calling.
11. In the meetings, figures were thrown around for arranging meetings, and Ambassador played along, with the full knowledge that there is no fee required to meet with the President. When we reconvened and reviewed our discussions with these “investors” we noted that the discussion has shifted from investment to other issues that had nothing to do with the proposed investment in Zimbabwe. The Ambassador was already informed by the security agents prior to the meeting that they didn’t have the money they claimed to have. The “investors” failed to produce a confirmation of funds to back their financial capacity to invest in Zimbabwe. Consequently, Ambassador Angel swiftly and immediately called off any further meetings and engagements with these “investors”. He was certain that these are not genuine investors and that these people had another agenda other than investment. This had nothing to do with their failure to pay a “fee”.
12. The utterances made by Ambassador Uebert Angel in the documentary appear to suggest that the Ambassador carried out illegal activities involving gold trade and the movement of cash, but the reality is that the Ambassador has never traded in gold or moved cash for anyone. All his flights are through commercial airlines, not private jets. It is clear from the documentary that Ambassador Angel and his team were never shown trading gold. In this regard, the Ambassador would be right to challenge anyone with evidence that he once traded gold or moved cash to come forward. He also never travelled into or out of Zimbabwe on a private jet. This information is available to the public. These utterances were made with the aim of getting the true picture of these fake investors and it became clear that the intelligence operatives were 100% correct.
13. Honestly, it should be common sense that it’s physically impossible for Ambassador Angel to carry US$1 billion in a bag. The reactions of these fake investors to this suggestion cemented our view that these “investors” were not genuine. It is important to note that as much as they said they had US$1 billion in cash, they did not say it was dirty money that needed to be cleaned. The Ambassador simply wanted to see if they really had the money they claimed to have.
14. It should be noted that Ambassador Angel deals with citizen or people-to-people diplomacy. His office is all about individuals making their own independent decisions to invest in the country. This has seen many investors visit Zimbabwe and some invest in the country. It should also be noted that these investors were all directed to relevant State Institutions for formalisation of their investments. No investment starts and ends with meeting the Ambassador. The investors are always referred to the relevant authorities and Government institutions. The Ambassador has been in business for a long time and knows his way around investors. He helps them to see the truth in the great nation of Zimbabwe. In his engagements, he focuses more on Economic Diplomacy, not Political Diplomacy. The Ambassador pushes all the necessary buttons to convince investors that Zimbabwe is a safe investment destination. He does this by using his own integrity and reputation, at no point does he projects himself as a criminal or shady businessman.
15. To add to this, of all the investors who were facilitated by the OPEAAL, none can claim to have paid a fee to the Ambassador. If anyone out there was made to pay a fee by the Ambassador, may he/she come forward with the evidence, The Ambassador does his work in the noblest and most transparent manner. The recorded episode with the fake investors was clearly a well-crafted ploy to trap the Ambassador and tarnish his image. Indeed there are people who are falling for the propaganda, but time will reveal that there is not a single criminal activity that can be attributed to the Ambassador in his capacity as an Ambassador or as a private citizen.
16. There was never direct communication with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. None of the people working at the Central Bank at airports communicated with the team. In fact, there is never a need for that. All genuine investors follow the formal processes used by local and foreign investors. Given that the ‘investors’ had not indicated any criminal intent, there was never a motive to cut corners or engage in illegal dealings.
17. Throughout the engagements with these fake investors, and indeed in all other engagements, there was never any link with airport authorities or military bases. There was never anytime the President told us to tell them anything. We used our own modus operandi. If anything, everything said and done during the engagements was meant to assure the investors that they were in good hands and that their investments are safe. All this, and more, was taken out of context and scandalised.
18. Ambassador Angel’s role is to market the country with the view of attracting investors to Zimbabwe. His job involves convincing investors that Zimbabwe is indeed open for business and a lucrative investment destination of choice. On top of this, Ambassador Angel is a well-known Prophet and Preacher, he does not present himself as a criminal to investors. As a Prophet, Ambassador Angel is accessible to the public through his live broadcasts and there is nothing in those live broadcasts that suggest he is a criminal. In fact, Al Jazeera drew on his TV content in an attempt to discredit him.
19. In the entire documentary, Ambassador Angel spoke glowingly of the trust the President put in him and his work as a man of God. It is from this background that the Aljazeera operatives presented themselves as investors, not as criminals. There is no incentive for Ambassador Angel to present himself as a criminal to potential investors. In fact, it does not make any sense to say Zimbabwe is open for business in one line and in the next instance present Zimbabwe as a haven of corruption. All the people making crude allegations against the Ambassador cannot provide any evidence showing the Ambassador carrying cash or gold. They are relying on statements that were manipulated and taken completely out of context. As a matter of fact, when gold was mentioned, he resorted to decoys as our ‘red’ protocol demands when intelligence fails to give a conclusive check of the concerned people.
20. Further to this there seems to be an inference that there is money being demanded to see the president. That assertion is false. It further shows the manipulation of the clips to say exactly what these people want to come out. It should also be noted that in bringing the investors, I was responsible for this team. I can categorically state that no one in the OPEAAL team asked for a facilitation fee of any sort.
21. People working in our office are allowed to partner with investors. The documentary left out this for obvious reasons. We don’t receive anything from investors to facilitate their investments. However, anyone who is not connected directly to OPEAAL is at liberty to do so. In this documentary, they are involving the comments of Mr Doolan who is not and has never been, an employee of the OPEAAL office.
22. The Aljazeera documentary was heavily edited to cut out some of the words that the Ambassador said. The documentary also negates the context in which these discussions occurred. The discussion was supposed to be a meeting prior to meeting with the President. It was, in many ways, the opportunity for the Ambassador to gauge the seriousness of the investors and the authenticity of their claims. When it became clear that they had nothing, the Ambassador blocked them from ever meeting the President. If the Ambassador did not use his own tactics to probe them and expose their fakery, the President could have met them and recorded them as part of this documentary. In hindsight, I believe that it would have been better if we had taken them to the President because all this narrative of tarnishing the President would have not succeeded. We have taken several investors to the President and his conduct around investors is always exceptionally professional and transparent. I firmly believe that if we had taken them to the President, they would have left with no toxic narrative to spread.
23. In conclusion, it should be noted that what we initially assumed were criminals that we were vetting before meeting the President, turned out to be undercover journalists. The OPEAAL respects the role of journalists in society as they help to bring accountability. However, the use of “entrapment” and deception is a very poor form of journalism that mostly relies on asking leading questions and trying to put words into subjects’ mouths. In the end, the Aljazeera journalists have all the power to control the narrative by selectively removing some of the statements from the people they “investigated.” There is a lot of material that they omitted which could have provided a better view of the real motives and intentions of the Ambassador when he made some of the statements being used to scandalise him.

Uebert Angel's Office Responds To Al Jazeera Documentary

One of Zimbabwe’s most influential diplomats, Uebert Angel, says he is number two in the country in terms of hierarchy from President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
If the claims are anything to go by, it means that Angel occupies a higher position than Vice President Constantino Chiwenga.
Chiwenga was the Commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) when the military staged a coup in November 2017, which removed former President Robert Mugabe from power.
Some political commentators believe Chiwenga is the man in charge of the country, with Mnangagwa just the face of the government.
Angel, who was appointed a special envoy and ambassador-at-large to Europe and the Americas by Mnangagwa in 2021, boastfully told Al Jazeera undercover journalists the position was created specifically for him. He said:
<blockquote>
I am an ambassador-at-large; I am an ambassador to 85 countries. As the special envoy, I am a representative of the President.
If you then look on paper in that position, I am number two, and there is no position like that in the country.
It was just one position that was never filled in. And I occupy that, it was created for me.

Angel is a self-proclaimed prophet at his Good News Church and claims he can heal the sick and predict the outcomes of elections and football matches.
In Episode One of the Al Jazeera documentary, Gold Mafia, Angel boasted that he could assist his guests to launder as much as US$1 billion in cash using diplomatic cover.
Angel appeared to be encouraging them to take advantage of his close ties with Mnangagwa.

Uebert Angel Claims He Is "Number 2" In Zimbabwe

President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s special envoy to Europe and the Americas <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Uebert_Angel">Uebert Angel Snr</a> has two identity documents while his British passport has a different date of birth raising serious questions about his integrity.
Mnangagwa last year appointed Angel Snr, aka <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Uebert_Angel">Uebert Mudzanire</a>, to the new position of special envoy to the president and ambassador at large to the Americas and Europe “to promote investment for the country.”
An investigation by The Standard established that the man of the cloth has two different Zimbabwe national identity cards.
His first ID, with registration number 83-099297X83, was issued at the Zaka registry offices in Masvingo in 1996 while the second one, with the registration number 29-195587H83, was obtained in Gweru in the Midlands a year later.
The two identity documents show that Angel Snr was born on September 6, 1978, but the ID numbers are different.
<blockquote>
1). A check at the registry showed that Angel Snr has more than one national identity registration.
2). He used the 1997 ID to secure a passport in Zimbabwe, passport no ZE 306043.
3). His British passport, number 464932598 issued on November 6, 2009, showed that he was born on March 4, 1972.
4). On March 9, 2021, Angel Snr appeared before a Harare lawyer, Tichavona Mutebere, where he made an application to change his name from Uebert Mudzanire to Uebert Angel Snr claiming he was born on September 6, 1978, a birth date inconsistent with his British one but consistent with his two Zimbabwean national IDs.
5). Angel Snr has a biological brother, Samson Mudzanire, ID number 83-066977R83, who was born on April 14, 1972, which means that if he sticks to the 1972 date, then his mother, Rose Mudzanire, gave birth to two sons in 1972 within 40 days of each other.
</blockquote>
There are also questions around Angel Snr’s academic qualifications with evidence suggesting that some of his degrees are fake.
The United States Department of Justice through Operation Gold Seal flagged Angel Snr’s Bachelor of Business Administration degree obtained from Saint Regis University as fake.
Angel Snr denies buying a fake online business degree with a “diploma-mill scheme” that was eventually shut down by the US.

Uebert Angel is spending $2 million a French hotel as he expands his business empire in the developed North. He is in the process of finalising the acquisition of the hotel in France, which sits on more than 30 acres and can accommodate over 100 guests.
Speaking to Daily News, Angel’s spokesperson Rikki Doolan confirmed the acquisition and said it is a first of “The Beverly Angel Hotel” chain. Said Doolan:
<blockquote>It’s not a secret that Mr Uebert Angel owns several companies of which some are in his name and others are not, although he is the main shareholder. The hotel in France is neither the first or the only hotel or piece of real estate Mr Angel’s companies own. However, it is the first of many to come under the name ‘The Beverly Angel Hotel’ which are being launched all over Europe.</blockquote>
Doolan also revealed that the hotel would soon be undergoing extensive renovations before it was fully opened to the public.

Uebert Angel Spends $2 Million On French Hotel

Prophet Uebert Angel, leaader of the Good News Church, has been accused of using a congregant, Melody Dzingai, to set him up with women of the “highest quality.” The allegations were made by one Leeroy Elliot who has claimed that he is on the run after exposing the Whatsapp messages between Angel and Dzingai. The Sunday Mail Religion reports that it independently verified that the number on the chats did indeed belong to Angel. Dzingai is reported to be dating Prophet Angel’s “spiritual son,” Prophet Shepherd Bushiri leader of the Enlightened Christian Gathering. Said, Elliot
<blockquote>I was trying to handle this issue in a professional manner but these people, including Kelvin Silungwe (Prophet Bushiri’s publicist), hacked my account and posted a statement on the Facebook page that I had apologised retracting my statement that Melody Dzingai was organising girls for Uebert Angel and she is dating Shepherd Bushiri.
Whatever I was saying is the truth. I stand as Elliot Leeroy, Leeroy Elliot, I am not reversing this. They are trying to offer me money and they are tracking me. I am on the run, help me. I have been exposing the rot in the church; I have more sensitive videos and will post it if you try anything to harm me. I will never apologise, even in 100 years.</blockquote>
Elliot claimed to have seen the damaging information when Dzingai started threatening him asking him to return the phones she had forgotten in his car. Some of the messages read,
<blockquote>Angel: I want you to find the highest quality. People you think will say NO. 
Dzingai: Hahahaha….NO? The difficult ones granddad. 
Angel: Yea. The difficult ones are the most attractive ones</blockquote>
Another chat goes:
<blockquote>Angel: She posts about me a lot. She comments. 
Dzingai: Really? Can I talk to her then? I like Imelda…she’s nice. 
Angel: Talk to her now; no wasting time. She is married. You are slow.</blockquote>
Angel could not be reached for comment while Dzingai referred questions to Maynard Manyowa. Manyowa said the chats had been fabricated by a disgruntled former employee. Said Manyowa,
<blockquote>The chats are not genuine. In fact, my sister lost her two iPhone and a Samsung S8 phones. We have made a police report and Elliot must return the phones. Elliot demanded R50 000 but we refused to be blackmailed and he threatened that he was going to expose what he calls dirty messages, but it’s all fake. He is bitter because he was fired as Melody’s personal driver.</blockquote>
