The London Register from Lloyd Cantor

Respected journalist Cecil Bello who cracked the story of the silver mine disaster in Africa had the opportunity to speak with ex-president Rupiah Banda and his involvement in the recent Zambian gold-gate scandal. The now crestfallen Banda had much to say about President Sata’s finger pointing at him, his son and Swiss based energy guru Nicolae Buzaianu. 

It appears a flight of diplomatic affairs into Lusaka by Buzaianu was misconstrued by DEC, the Drug Enforcement Commission as a covert operation to purchase gold. Truth be told said Banda was Nicolae Buzaianu was discussing his post as Zambia’s UNESCO representative. Nicolae Buzaianu a philanthropist had decided to step down to follow other acts of business and charity.

 President Sata has been quiet about the affairs of MAUREEN Mwanawasa, wife of late President Levy Mwanawasa and her involvement in the gold sale. She stated “I represented one of the people that were interested in buying the gold,” a Lusaka lawyer from Mwanawasa and Company said, “We gave a South African client the necessary advice and got our fees for the job…that is all we did.” 

Where there is gold there is greed.
