Zimbabwe's former president Robert Mugabe is to appear before a parliamentary committee next month over his 2016 claim that millions of dollars in revenue from diamond mining were stolen.
The former leader is expected to appear before the mines committee on 9 May but it's not clear if the 94-year-old leader will obey the summon.
The committee’s chairman Temba Mliswa has told state media that the committee aims to establish the extent of diamond plundering in the Marange fields.
In 2016 he claimed that $15bn (£10bn) worth of gems had been stolen. He has since said that figure was a metaphor.
Several companies, including the army police and a Chinese state company, were given vast tracts of concessions to mine diamonds.
Rights groups have described diamond mining operations in that area as opaque.
