Law is law no one is above the law

Testing your own medicine

The corrupt predatory political elite in Zimbabwe are having their own in fighting among themselves 🙄🙄

In south Africa they better hide the minister in fancy hotels than arresting them.. Big up to Zimbabwe...

Who are they fooling?

Juju_S_Malema There you go chief, even better at corruption than you!

He must come to banana SA he will be free

I wish it could also happen in South Africa we are tied of corruption 🇿🇦

You will never see this in South Africa. 😏

Dankie Zimbabwe👌👏👏🙌

Keep him or her!

kmugova Robin Vela the former Chairman is holed up in SA. Track in and give a full story on the R1billion he facilitated to loot

She was part of the G40, she is one of the enermies around the President Mnangagwa who was announced to be targeted during the coup, Zanu only arrest enemies

What? NO COMMISSIONS OF IRONY? Just straight to jail? Sounds great

Some people still don't know what their purpose is on this earth, willing to do darn things to make you feel worthy, oneday it will come back to you. You might not feel it now but oneday your grandkids will feel the nature of this earth

Leuba_Ramakadi While SA is wasting time...

TiChitsinde Cc ThuliMadonsela3 👍🏽 StateCaptureInquiry

Jailbreak soon

It got me thinking about ZANU-PF & ANC A cut from the same cloth and the other so called 'liberation parties' in the continent.

'women make better leaders than men' - feminist

Is this a virus going around for political corruption,who do we trust anymore 🙈🤔the best is there get set free and we pay the higher taxes.

And it still is ineffective: GraceMugabe & her husband are living peacefully on the proceeds of their ill-gotten gains, while Zimbabwe lies in economic ruin!

Yeah neh if it was South Africa, they would've said she must pay it back and never be prosecuted 🤔

Corruption is corruption. It does not matter who the perpetrators are or who assist them to fight it (corruption). Deal with them decisively,

That is just a drop 💧 in the Ocean of corruption. We are yet to see arrests for the R200 billion stolen towards the end of Mugabe era and another R42 billion stolen between 217-2018.

They could have paid the remaining balance to Eskom, thts how useless and arrogant this Zanu pf is.

Zimbabwe remains open for business. A ZanuPF minister JusticeMayorW drives a lamborghini urus.

Why can't this happen in SA GodBlessSouthAfrica

Lol she copied the wrong Cat ain't no Zondo that side lol

She's one of them. The whole state is captured n corrupt.

one thing about Zimbabwe there's no corruption and lawlessness unlike MYANC

There's gonna come a point when Africans blame Africans for their problems.

Whaaaaattttt ? Without a commission of enquiry first What a backward country ! 🤣😜

I wish South Africa were doing the same coz it's a real home of corruption with useless legislation

Can't wait for the same to happen to our corrupt government officials. The only thing that can stop corruption is severe consequences. Re utlwile tlhe bathong tjerr

😂🤷🏻‍♂️😂🤷🏻‍♂️😂🤷🏻‍♂️😂🤷🏻‍♂️😂🤷🏻‍♂️😂

If a lady minister could steal such l wonder what amount the junta and the coup plotters themselves looted and still loot from selling our resources via that famous 'luxury jet'

Imagine with the money she squandered we would have paid our Electricity debt and we wouldnt be in darkness

This is not Zimbabwe

Good example ever in government

Eish that figure in rands....

Law is taking it place unlike here in SA

Umhlatshelo!!!
