2. Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Co.
Formed recently, this state Diamond Company was created to oversee the production of Zimbabwe’s Diamond markets which are completely controlled by Mugabe and his government.
The company was set up after Mugabe caught diamond mines stealing directly from the government.
In a massive purge the mines were stripped of workers and new government authorized workers were sent into replace them.
The diamond mines are thought to have produced around $15 billion dollars worth of diamonds over the last few years, much of which was shipped out of the country behind the backs of the government.
