今天掛在津巴布韋的令人不安的諷刺

南非金融情報中心（FIC）採取了決定性的步驟來調查金融交易的模糊網絡

A disturbing irony hangs over Zimbabwe today. While South Africa’s Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) has taken decisive steps to investigate the murky web of financial transactions linked to Zimbabwe’s 2023 elections—revealing the alleged looting of over R800 million by controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo—the Zimbabwean government has opted for shameful silence.

今天，令人不安的諷刺懸在津巴布韋上。南非金融情報中心（FIC）採取了決定性的步驟，調查了與津巴布韋2023年選舉有關的模糊網絡的金融交易網絡 - 揭示了有爭議的商人Wicknell Chivayo（Zimbabwean Compairment）搶劫了超過8億蘭特的搶劫，Zimbabwean政府選擇了可恥的寂靜。

Not even a token expression of concern. Not a single pledge to investigate. No press statement from the presidency, nor from the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC), nor from the Ministry of Finance—whose own transfers triggered this scandal.

甚至都沒有關注的象徵表達。沒有一個調查的保證。沒有總統的新聞聲明，也沒有來自津巴布韋反腐敗委員會（ZACC）的新聞聲明，也沒有財政部的新聞聲明，也沒有自己的轉會引發了這一丑聞。

One would be forgiven for thinking this scandal involved some faraway country, and not the plunder of taxpayer money in Harare. Yet it is South Africa’s authorities—namely the FIC, the Reserve Bank of South Africa, and the South African Revenue Service—who are ringing the alarm bells and pursuing criminal probes into the R1.1 billion transferred from the Treasury to the Johannesburg-based printing company Ren-Form CC, most of which swiftly flowed into Chivayo’s business and personal accounts.

人們認為這一丑聞涉及一個遙遠的國家，而不是在哈拉雷（Harare）掠奪納稅人的錢。然而，南非的當局（即南非的儲備銀行和南非稅務局）正在敲響警鐘，並追求犯罪調查的11億蘭特，從財政部轉移到了約翰內斯堡的1億蘭特，迅速流入了基於約翰內斯堡的印刷公司Ren-Form CC，其中大部分迅速流入了Chivayo的業務和個人業務和個人帳戶。

This tale of alleged corruption, meticulously documented by the FIC and leaked to the Sunday Mail, began in April 2023 with a series of tranches totaling R1.1 billion paid by the Ministry of Finance to Ren-Form CC for the supply of electoral materials.

這個涉嫌腐敗的故事是由FIC仔細記錄並洩露給《星期日郵報》的故事，始於2023年4月，一系列由財政部為Ren-Form CC支付的總計11億蘭特，以提供選舉材料的供應。

The transactions were clocked on May 18, 2024 by the FIC as having "high risk" due to the speed at which funds moved, the stated purposes that weren’t aligning with activity, and the bulk transactions.

交易於2024年5月18日被FIC計時，因為由於資金移動的速度，與活動不符的陳述目的以及批量交易的速度，具有“高風險”。

Of that amount, more than R800 million was quickly funnelled to companies owned by Chivayo—primarily Intratrek and Dolintel Trading. Another R156 million was paid directly to Chivayo’s Edenbreeze, allegedly for architectural and engineering services.

在這一數量中，超過8億蘭特的公司很快就向Chivayo擁有的公司（主要是Intratrek and Dolintel Trading）匯入了。另外1.56億蘭特直接支付給了Chivayo的Edenbreeze，據稱是為建築和工程服務提供的。

However, the apex court judge flagged these transactions as having "no economic, rational or legal justification.”

但是，最高法院法官將這些交易標記為“沒有經濟，理性或法律依據”。

The apex court judge pointed out that the transactions were linked to several legal and economic anomalies, rendering them highly suspicious.

最高法院法官指出，交易與幾個法律和經濟異常有關，使它們高度可疑。
