    Zimbabwe discovers oil. President Emmerson Mnangagwa has announced the discovery of oil in Muzarabani in the north of the country. He said that these are still early days and an exploration well will be sunk in 2020. https://bbc.in/2Dkbtqi pic.twitter.com/6kDMCOJSlh

        Zimbabwe has every mineral you can think of. Not long ago, diamond deposits worth millions of dollars were discovered, and where did that go? Politicians hot their hands on them, enriched themselves at the expense of the poor and up to now, the country stinks of poverty!!

        No, it's the way we think of Africa. Corruption is not continental.

        Zimbabwe discovered diamonds years ago, but nothing tangible was achieved with them. Not even a cm of tarred road, a rural clinic or even a borehole! We hope the oil will bring socio-economic transformation to the country!
