Gold Mafia saga in new twist

AL Jazeera Media Network has successfully appealed a High Court ruling ordering the attachment of its property in Zimbabwe over a legal dispute arising from the Gold Mafia documentary released in March 2023.

Mehluleli Dube, Fidelity Printers and Refiners head of gold operations between 1989 and 2022, had approached the High Court suing the media network for defamation.

The High Court had directed the Sheriff to seize Al Jazeera property including laptops, computers, printers, cameras and photographic equipment at its bureau office in Harare.
