A 200kg consignment of ivory that the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife
Management Authority (Zimparks) intercepted at the Robert Mugabe
International Airport on Monday belonged to former First Lady Grace
Mugabe.
The ivory, which was stashed in four boxes was intercepted yesterday
with the help of the country’s security agencies who were on duty at the
airport according to ZBC news site.
Two people, who are alleged to have been facilitating the movement of
the consignment have been identified as Robert Mugabe’s aides following
the interception and investigations have pointed to Grace Mugabe as the
owner of the contraband.
Grace was accompanying her husband Robert on Monday evening, an
official said. They are expected to make a stop-over in Malaysia, where
their daughter, Bona, is expecting a second child.
No arrests have been made.
