Dear Readers,
On 5 July 2023, we published an article titled “Indian billionaire ‘Nawab Shaji Ul Mulk’ in deportation storm in Zimbabwe”, which made several allegations against Mulk Holdings International, its Chairman, Nawab Shaji Ul Mulk, and associated businesses and sports partners.
Upon further review and considering new information that has come to our attention, we acknowledge that several statements in the article were inaccurate and have caused significant distress and harm to the parties involved.
Specifically, we wish to address the following inaccuracies:
1. Illegal Activities and Unethical Business Practices: Our article insinuated involvement in illegal and unethical business practices by Mulk Holdings International. We now understand that these insinuations were incorrect.
2. Visas and Work Permits: The article suggested that Mulk Holdings International did not adhere to immigration laws and that there was a deportation of 500 Indians associated with Mulk Holdings International.
We now acknowledge that this claim was false—no single deportation of any individual connected to Mulk Holdings International or its projects in Zimbabwe.
3. Manipulation of Game Outcomes: We claimed that Mulk Holdings International manipulated game outcomes in T10 cricket. This claim was unsupported and incorrect. T10 cricket is vetted and supervised by the International Cricket Council (ICC), whose security and anti-corruption team is at matches, ensuring fair play.
4. Associations with Wanted Individuals: Our article linked Mulk Holdings International with individuals involved in illegal activities. This was speculative and done without substantial evidence.
5. Money Laundering Allegations: We made allegations of money laundering against Mulk Holdings International. We now understand that these allegations were unfounded and incorrect.
6. Financial Capacity for the ZimCyberCity Project: Our article questioned Mulk Holdings International’s financial ability to carry out the ZimCyberCity project in Zimbabwe. We now acknowledge that this claim was not substantiated and did not consider the company’s robust financial planning and proven track record of successful projects.
We deeply regret the publication of these inaccuracies and retract the entire article. It is not the standard of journalism we strive to uphold at ZiMetro, and we sincerely apologize for this lapse in our editorial process.
To Mulk Holdings International, its Chairman, Nawab Shaji Ul Mulk, all associated businesses and sports partners, the Government of Zimbabwe, and the Immigration Department, we sincerely apologise for any harm or distress caused by the publication of this article.
We acknowledge and respect your commitment to ethical business practices and regret any insinuation. We also recognise that our unsupported allegations may have created diplomatic tensions and undue anxiety.
We also apologise to our readers for any confusion or misunderstanding caused by the article. We are responsible for providing accurate and reliable information, and we failed in this instance.
Moving forward, we commit to improving our editorial processes to ensure that all articles published on our platform meet the highest standards of accuracy and fairness. We will also strive to verify better the information we publish to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
We appreciate your understanding and continued trust in ZiMetro News.
Sincerely,
Editor-in-Chief Kimberly Chihera
