HARARE police have detained former Zimbabwe Football Association chief executive officer Henrietta Rushwaya who was this afternoon arrested at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport in Harare on allegations of trying to smuggle 6kg of gold to Dubai.
She is expected in court tomorrow.
Rushwaya (53), was arrested by Criminal Investigation Department (CID) detectives after the gold was found in her hand luggage following a search as she was going through check-in formalities.
The gold was detected by Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe scanners and Rushwaya, who is the president of the Zimbabwe Miners
Federation, failed to produce documents authorising her to export the precious mineral, leading to her arrest.
Asked about the origins of the gold, Rushwaya is said to have claimed that she got it from a person she only identified as Ali, who resides in Alexandra Park in Harare.
She told detectives that Ali was a licenced gold buyer and had instructed her to hand over the gold to an unidentified person at Dubai Airport.
Police said the recovered gold would be taken for assay to determine quantity and value after which it would be sent to Fidelity Printers and Refiners for safekeeping.

Structured Settlement vs Lump Sum Payment
Structured Settlement vs Lump Sum Payment
A structured settlement pays money over time instead of giving the full amount upfront. Structured settlements are common in injury cases, insurance claims, and lawsuit settlements.
A lump sum settlement pays all the money at once. Both options have benefits and risks.
Benefits of Structured Payments
Structured payments can provide steady income and help prevent spending the money too quickly. They may be helpful for future medical care, living expenses, or long-term support.
Benefits of Lump Sum Payments
A lump sum gives immediate access to cash. This may help pay off debt, buy a home, cover medical bills, or invest.
However, receiving all the money at once requires strong financial discipline.
Selling a Structured Settlement
Some people sell future payments for cash now. This can provide quick money, but the amount received may be less than the total future value.
Conclusion
Before choosing or selling a settlement, consider long-term needs and speak with a financial professional.
