Gold Mafia - Episode 1 - The Laundry Service I Al Jazeera Investigations
Undercover reporters pose as gangsters with up to a billion dollars of black money that need to be cleaned. They gain remarkable access to members of Africa’s Gold Mafia and film closed door meetings with crime bosses.
A senior African ambassador offers to launder $1.2 million using the cover of his diplomatic bag.
Criminals offer lucrative deals to clean over $100 million through government gold export schemes. At the centre of it their operations is southern Africa’s biggest laundromat, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.
Gold Mafia, a four-part series by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit looks at how society’s obsession with gold underwrites a global shadow economy. The undercover team infiltrates the rival gangs that turn dirty cash into gold, which is then sold around the world.
Through thousands of confidential documents and exclusive interviews with whistleblowers from within the criminal organisations, investigators obtain the blueprints of billion-dollar money laundering operations that service the political elite. And the investigation leads to the highest offices of southern Africa.

As a kenyan, one of the most disturbing thing is that Musalia Mudavadi who was a major beneficially of the Goldenberg saga that almost crippled the Kenyan economy in the 90s, is now the third most powerful person in Kenya. We have ourselves to blame because we keep recycling the same corrupt politicians.

Agree
Aljazeera the greatest news media.
AJ Unit Investigation continue their hard work 🥉🥉
But do they really know whats going on? lol The united states govenment etc controls all the gold in the universe.Smh
I don't think so
This is truly a testimony of how wealthy Africa is. Even today there seems to be an endless supply of resources
Incredibly good journalism. The BBC used to make documentaries like this when they had journalists rather than lame activists. It is good to see someone keep the tradition of journalism alive.
Yes, they have been nr 1 for years now. I can't remember any recent Western investigative journalism that was groundbreaking. But we must celebrate the diversity of this gold mafia don't you think LOL
Bbc AFRICA does good program's.. I am tired of AFRICA.
If you are Zimbabwean and not angry after watching this…you are also part of the problem.

Honestly the best investigative journalism I have ever seen. Aljazeera is leading the way.
I've lived in Zimbabwe. This is incredibly depressing to see. These people are already incredibly wealthy, but their greed knows no limits.
This is unreal. Thank you, to the Al Jazeera journalists that took the risk to expose this travesty.

Soo sad 😢
Shame
As an African, it is heart breaking to see all our gold being stolen like this, corruption has crippled us
The illiteracy in the comment section is disheartening. when a country is sanctioned, they have to resort to other means to sell and bring foreign currency into the reserve bank. When Iran was sanction and could not sell its oil, Norwegian and Greek smugglers were brought in to smuggle the oil out of the country and bring in money to run the country. How do you expect Zimbabwe to sell its gold when it is sanctioned? The investigation does not show that the money is going into the ambassadors pocket or the president's pockets. yes the smugglers are stealing from the government but to talk of corruption when the government is only trying to sell its gold and bring money to the reserve bank shows that many African commenting in the comment section below are illiterates. they simply do not know how the world works. Zimbabwe has to sell its gold and smuggling is the only way and that is not corruption as it is not going into private pockets. the guilty here are the smugglers who are exploiting the situation to steal from the government. Lets see what the remaining episodes hold.
Wtf do expect them to do when zimbabwe has been sanctioned so zim has to do wat they got too we got resources but nowhere to sell it so it is wat it is

It is heartbreaking that right now people are dying right in our hospitals because there is no medication. Africa is not poor! We just have heartless bustards in positions of power. If nothing is done following this documentary, then we are doomed. These individuals need to rot in jail! I salute Al Jazeera for to notch investigative journalism 👏👏👏

Please share this documentary. Africans need to know what's going on in Zimbabwe. Sad how other African leaders support Mnangagwa, he is literally the worst
This only episode 1. Brother Paul said he got connection to Kenya 😂
These syndicates are all over Africa. Our resources are pilfered to far-flung nations as we watch, cheer on the thieves and fight each other. Zimbabwe is just a tip I'd guess. The rot in my beloved Kenya might be worse💔💔💔

My heart is bleeding for the poor Zimbabweans. God will hear us
God is with them. They own churches, they preach the word,people attend. 😂😂 This is madness
God helps those who help themselves. Prayer is not enough
Accountability to ourselves is what we need. An ordinary Zimbabwean is living in devastating poverty while this is happening. This is really not about God but people holding each other accountable and being active politically.

They have been exposed but this doc is put the incredible work in it and i wish this doc will be seen by most concerned bodies and all Africans
As a Zimbabwean my HATE FOR ZANU PF HAS MULTIPLIED 1000000 TIMES
Your hatred is misplaced. Leadership is a direct reflection of the society that breed it! Perhaps you should direct your hatred towards the prevailing social values and the education system that inculcates no sense of responsibility or common purpose/goal.
@@organicforlife597 That is nonsense
And to think we are one of the poorest countries in the world when we have so much gold and other natural resources! This is insane. I'm heartbroken. 💔
Not that long ago I've been doing research about gold producer in the world. The biggest 3rd is Switzerland, UK, and Hongkong. Then I dug deeper to where this three countries get their gold from (because you know, there's no way Switzerland, UK, or HK own their gold mine). But they tend to ship their gold to one another (for example Switzerland get it from HK, UK gets from Russia and Switzerland) but Hongkong gold majority came from UAE. Then at last, I finally get to find their major supplies, which is came from DRC, Ghana, Uganda, Mali, SA. I'm glad you cover this story. Just kinda sad we can only see it but can't make differences.
This group of journalists deserve a Pulitzer Price. Thank you for this revelation
Best documentary ive watched this year. This journalists deserve awards. Great work 🎉
true that. but am sure,you'd feel its a tie between this documentary and the bbc's "Modi and India" documentary. GOtta watch that one too.
Mmmmh mmmh
Yhoo, am in tears,- God where are you really? How can u allow these vultures to do this to us?
As a South African I have a strong feeling that this is also happening in my country and I think it happens at a larger scale it's just not exposed yet.
I doubt it, we are not like Zim, the reserve bank is not controlled by the government only Sars is and if there's somthing going on I bet you a million pounds it will be gordahn, mantashe and mabuza. Even though south africa looks defenseless trust me there are alot of good independent law inforcement in our country crimes like these will occur even in the words best protected government. Look at the U.S
Of course
Yes it is happening, where do you think the Gold extracted by the Zama-zamas go to
This is part 1: I’m sure and I’m waiting for the part 2 to come out. I’m sure SA one is in there too.

The Western sanctions on Zimbabwe are contributors to the problem. As a South African, I believe the same is happening here. Africa is a very rich continent but the ordinary people dont benefit from the mineral wealth. Very good documentary.
Zimbabwe has always been corrupt. Don't blame sanctions.
@mogotsimpshane4713 Sanctions aren’t the issue here. It’s government corruption. Even without sanctions, Zimbabwe would still be in same position. Corrupt people in power will always be corrupt
Surely after watching this video you had to blame sanctions 😂😂 you clearly heard the guy saying if you grease wheels in Africa you are good. You bride the leaders you do whatever you want
It's Zimbabweans leaders that benefit from sanctions since they can smuggle resources.
The SANCTION in by the WEST gave rise to this...unless the WEST have their puppet in through their Tool call democracy then this may stop...

Indeed one of the best documentaries I have watched..As a Kenyan my heart bleed for Africa. Untill when?
Great work Aljazeera!
As a Zimbabwean what breaks my heart is the fact that we are living in foreign lands far from our families just to make ends meet. OK they are stealing, but atleast fix the country in the process. This is so heartbreaking
That’s true, home is always the best place to be. Heartbroken to our Africa being destroyed by these selfish people
From this documentary please tell me exactly who has stolen what and how the theft has been carried out. I'm waiting.
Am a Kenyan and I can tell you for free that Kamlesh Pattni is a crook. I remember when we were kids he orchestrated a big scam called the 'goldenberg scandal' that cause Kenya to lose an equivalent to 10% of our GDP then. It's heartbreaking to see that he's still free to mastermind other scams all over Africa thanks to our weak systems
Kamlesh is stealing even from the same government he is supposed to help break sanctions.
