$200k Plot "Led from South Africa"
In a strongly-worded press statement dated November 15, Police Commissioner P. Nyathi said the syndicate has "intensified efforts" to defeat or obstruct the course of justice.
The police identified the alleged leader of this effort as "Albertina Saikonda based in South Africa."
According to the statement, the funds are allegedly being raised across Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Australia with the express goal of derailing "the whole criminal investigations and court proceedings."
"The Law Will Take Effect Without Fear"
