Zimbabwe’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s envoy and ambassador-at-large, Uebert Angel, has hired prominent lawyer Professor Lovemore Madhuku following his alleged involvement in gold smuggling, money laundering, and corruption as revealed in a documentary aired by Al Jazeera.
With the final episode of the documentary set to be released, Angel has scheduled a press conference where his lawyer will address the unfolding situation.
However, Angel’s decision to hire Madhuku has stirred mixed reactions on social media, with some questioning why Angel couldn’t address the allegations himself and others arguing that Madhuku’s role should be limited to representing him in court.
The public’s diverse reactions demonstrate their keen interest in hearing directly from Angel and obtaining clarity on the situation.
