Uebert Angel, a well-known British-Zimbabwean businessman, magnetic evangelist, and the creator of Spirit Embassy, has had his diplomatic status revoked.
This comes following the blockbuster Al Jazeera Undercover Unit documentary on gold smuggling and money laundering. Read here
Uebert Angel, who President Emmerson Mnangagwa appointed ambassador-at-large and a presidential envoy in March 2021, unknowingly told undercover Al Jazeera journalists posing as Chinese criminals that he can use his diplomatic status to carry sizable amounts of illicit funds into Zimbabwe for them in the first episode of the documentary.
Eddie Cross, a former member of the Central Bank of Zimbabwe’s Monetary Policy Committee, has since told Al Jazeera that Angel has lost his diplomatic status.

Cross noted that given the disclosures in the Al Jazeera video, it’s possible that Angel will also do time in prison.
He stated:
“Well, I can tell you that the so-called Pastor. The guy who claimed to be a Christian Pastor has been stripped of his diplomatic passport. In fact, he has had his passport removed from him and the President has stripped him of all status. He might in fact face jail time.”
According to the former member of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe’s Monetary Policy Committee, one of Zimbabwe’s well-known white gold merchants left the country with his family after the scathing Al Jazeera video aired. Unverified rumours claim Ewan Macmillian played a significant role in the docuseries.

Eddie Cross disclosed that potential legal action will be launched against other subjects of the Al Jazeera broadcast.
“I know that one of the big white gold traders has fled the country with his family. I would imagine other elements inside that story against which action will be taken.”
