A Chinese firm has been granted mining rings in Chiadzwa. This has to be the equivalent of the gold rush in America; except that it is Mugabe and his cronies and friends only who are allowed to join in the diamond rush.
The Chinese financed a birth day party for Mugabe and is now they are getting their reward. The birth day party costed a few hundred thousand US$ including the present for the dictator. It was a one-off payment. The diamonds rights will earn the Chinese a cool US$ 1million plus a day; easy money. The Chinese will be in Chiadzwa beavering day and night for the next four to five years at least - thanks to MDC the dictator's hold on power is now very secure!
In Zimbabwe schools and hospitals are barely functioning for lack of funds and the nation is dishing away its resources and wealth for a song! This has to be proverbial hell-on-earth!
