Zim Morning Post was further told that top serving and retired military officers, including some influential government and Zanu PF officials, are shareholders, directors and chief executive officers in the respective 12 diamond mining entities.
The twelve companies in question reportedly signed a non-disclosure agreement which means that they cannot be made public for scrutiny.
Ironically, ZCDC, a government-owned entity replaced previous diamond miners who were accused of looting and externalising diamond revenue.
The reports come when the nation is still demanding answers on how the country allegedly lost US$15 billion dollars during Mugabe’s era.
