How Zimbabweans On Social Media Responded To Mnangagwa's Call To Return Externalised Funds
On Tuesday President Emmerson Mnangagwa called on Zimbabweans who may have illegally externalised funds to return them within 3 months without fear of prosecution. Mnangagwa warned that those who did not would face prosecution once the three months had elapsed.
Here is how some Zimbabweans on social media responded to the President’s Directive:

This is a cop out. Who are the biggest beneficiaries of this amnesty? We are being sold a dummy here maCdes. People with money in China will return a fraction & benefit from this amnesty. @lashiasn @tichray @matigary @auzqn @wamagaisa @freemankudziw https://t.co/YXuhXCasJw

Probably doing it so he can also return the funds he externalised. But it's fine. Clean slate https://t.co/nMhZbn4irz

But half a loaf is better than nothing blaz. Imagine if we were to recover just half or even a quarter of what Grace and her brats and all the other mashefu externalized. The bulk of that $15bln diamond loot was externalized, no doubt. But ka1 tikawana hedu chero $5bln chete

Did Mr Mugabe leave with headed paper and the seal of the President's office? It's hard to know what to believe. https://t.co/LFPfQ84PQb

This is self-serving, look to the Belvedere and Ridgeview neighbourhoods for answers on the timing of this https://t.co/PcuFhAkUgX

I think that's a very diplomatic way to do it, although I doubt anyone will actually comply. https://t.co/n7q1BiLNlt

Hokoyo na ED. Hopefully not the same rhetoric we are used to under Mugabe rule! https://t.co/9cXWW7NMw9

True. Even @Hon_Maziwisa and @OscarPambuka1 should return money stolen from ZESA!

How much is "huge somes of money"?
Where was it "externalised" to and by whom?
If they were really serious they would say "A,B & C stole X amount and externalised it to Z… we want this money back!"— Tungi Mu (@TungiMu) November 28, 2017
It's this naivety that got Zimbabweans worshiping Mugabe into this abyss we find ourselves in. Let's hold our horses for now. Leadership isn't ABC, soon we will see where we're being taken #Focus

While they are at it please can the Competition and Tariffs Commission reign in the extortionate hiking of prices by retailers. #Collusion

Why is the nigga playing deaf and dumb when we want answers or whereabouts of our 15$ billion. Because they are trying by all means to distract us by focusing on those petty thieves . Why not focus all that vigilance on securing back $15billion dollars

ED's 3 months ultimatum is a step in the right direction. But it must be understood y pple some spirited $ out of the system. They had no confidence in it. That's must be fixed at a policy level. The flip-side is its 3 months to cover tracks@chitaganya @mayor_justice @chitaganya
