Zim govt to take over all diamond operations
Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe says the state will now own all diamond mines in the country.
Amplats and Implats have previously submitted empowerment plans, which are still being considered by Mugabe.
A sluggish economic performance and job losses has seen more people struggle to settle their utility bills.
Reducing the state wage bill was one of the major targets the government had agreed with the IMF.
As anger grows over public sector salary scandal, Mugabe moves investigations to private sector.
