The Zimbabwean government has faced widespread criticism over its handling of corruption allegations, with many accusing Mnangagwa of failing to follow through on his promises to tackle the issue.
As the pressure on the President continues to mount, it remains to be seen what action will be taken in response to the allegations of gold smuggling through the international airport.
