Uebert Angel Hires Top Lawyer To Challenge Al Jazeera’s ‘Gold Mafia’ Allegations
Zimbabwe’s Ambassador-at-Large and Presidential Envoy, Uebert Angel, has taken an unexpected turn by hiring distinguished lawyer Professor Lovemore Madhuku in the midst of a flurry of panic.
In the context of the Gold Mafia documentary scandal, self-styled Prophet Uebert Angel has hired the famous legal representation in the person of Professor Lovemore Madhuku to defend him.
Al Jazeera’s documentary has accused Angel of engaging in alleged gold smuggling, money laundering, and corruption.
The final of the four-part docuseries will be aired Thursday.
While Zimbabweans wait in anticipation for the release of the documentary’s concluding episode today, Uebert Angel has decided to hold a press conference the same day, where his attorney, Prof. Madhuku, will discuss the current state of affairs.
Prof. Madhuku is well-known for his role as a significant legal figure in Zimbabwean politics and is also the leader of the National Constitutional Assembly (NCA). As the situation develops, the action taken by Angel, who is reportedly under increasing pressure and the subject of rumours regarding his employment status, has aroused interest and anticipation among the general public and the media.
