“They kill you, don't they?” “Exactly,” he replies.
A member of the same gang is now in hiding and speaks to the I-Unit from a safe house. “They will come after me, that's a given. If I stay [in South Africa], I will be dead by the time this [film] hits the first five minutes of play.”
Other Gold Mafia bosses lure undercover reporters for the business to launder their dirty money with promises of political connections. A senior Zimbabwean diplomat is seeking the approval of the president to use an official plane to carry over a billion dollars of dirty cash from Hong Kong into Zimbabwe.
Two gold mafia bosses tell undercover reporters in Johannesburg, “There’s no president or head of state either of us can’t get to on this continent.” Another advises, “When you work you must always have the king with you. The president”.
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. Investigators obtain the blueprints of money laundering operations that service southern Africa’s economic and political elite. And the investigation leads to the highest offices of state.

This documentary series should be translated into local languages so that people from all over Africa should be able to hear the mess our politicians subject us to. Truly heart wrenching revelations.
-
Deep respect for the undercover reporters. You deserve an international award for your bravery in exposing these criminals.Ironically the Bible states " there is nothing hidden that shall not be revealed".
-
I feel sad for Mahoomeds brother. What he did was so brave. God bless him and protect him.and his family ❤
-
As a Zimbabwean, Dawood Khan, l salute you man, you are a legend to have risked it all for the world to know. May Divine protection be upon you. To Aljazeera, thank you now we know more than we didn't yesterday 👏👏
-
Aljazeera the best documentary you have done in a long time, keep it up.
-
The way the team got these thugs to disclose so much information is really amazing. This is great work 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
-
Aljazeera has to be given some sort of award or recognition of a nobel status, for the work this brave journalist have done. This is one of the best docu series ever.
-
This has been the most gripping undercover series I've ever watched. Kudos to the undercover agents involved. Al Jazeera needs more documentaries like this.
-
Let this documentary be translated into all Zimbabwean languages and be sent to all Zimbabweans in the remotest parts of the country. Thank you Aljeezera
-
🇿🇼Zimbabweans lets mark our register here!!
-
Dawood Khan is the real MVP. And hero of this story. May his name always be remembered in the history book for being on the right side of the law! not all heroes wear caps

I went to Dubai this year and now feel dirty. I marvelled at the glittering city and all the development. Now I’m thinking of all Zimbabweans suffering in the diaspora. Zimbabweans are hated and killed in South Africa for taking jobs and South Africans don’t realise we are all victims of corrupt and heartless politicians and greedy individuals. It really hurts.
-
This documentary is wicked. Deserves to be made into a film.
-
I feel robbed. As an African, the "promise of a better life" by politicians are empty and never meant anything. I attached so much value to the "promise" that I believed that the poor will be 'rich' one day, but alas, it is a pipe dream. There is no coming back from this. I was scammed!!! Thanks AlJazeera, thanks to Dawood. I pray that Dawood will remain safe wherever he is.

1:05:18 "I am the least person anyone would suspect to do this.." ~The Pastor. If that is not an eye opener statement for his church followers, I don't know what is!
-
I had let go of the pain to watch this documentary. However, there is something about this episode that made my heart cry. Maybe it's the first lady caught with her hand in the cookie jar meanwhile she goes around showing false empathy to the victims of their schemes.
-
So far this episode is the best. What's happening in Zimbabwe? People are suffering, only a few individuals are benefiting.
-
As a Zimbabwean this deeply hurt me from episode 1 to this final episode, deeply deeply hurt
-
Absolutely incredible journalism! Well done Aljazeera! I will be praying for Dawood Khan and the others who have boldly stood for the truth.
-
Thank you, Aljazeera. We're expecting Nigeria's series soon. This will definitely be a child's play when compared. From politicians to government workers, political thugs and corporate elites. Keeping fingers crossed crossed 😮😢
