According to Tanzanian authorities, the documents from Williamson Diamonds estimated the value of the shipment at 14.7 million dollars based on a lower declared weight, while in fact they were worth double the amount.

 The Tanzanian government said on Sunday it had confiscated diamonds worth nearly 30 million dollars after accusing British company Petra Diamonds of having declared a lower value when trying to export the gems.

Speaking on government television channel TBC 1, Finance Minister Philip Mpango said the diamonds extracted from the Williamson Diamonds mine had been "nationalised".

The mine is 75 % owned by Petra Diamonds, with the remaining stake held by the Tanzanian state.

The diamonds were seized on August 31 at the airport in Tanzania's main city of Dar Es Salaam as they were being shipped to Belgium.

According to Tanzanian authorities, the documents from Williamson Diamonds estimated the value of the shipment at 14.7 million dollars based on a lower declared weight, while in fact they were worth double the amount.

"The Williamson Diamonds company documents put the value of the diamonds at 14.7 million dollars, before cutting and polishing, while their real value is 29.5 million dollars," the finance ministry said in a statement on Saturday.

On Thursday, two senior officials in the mining sector who had been cited in parliamentary reports on suspected embezzlement connected with the mining and sale of diamonds resigned following pressure from President John Magufuli.

Nicknamed the Bulldozer, Magufuli swept to power in 2015 on an anti-corruption platform.

He has said government officials implicated in the parliamentary report should resign and not wait for a formal dismissal order.

Magufuli has also locked horns with foreign mining companies which according to a parliamentary report have underreported their production, thus depriving Tanzania of tens of billions of dollars in revenue since 1998.

This is as bizarre as it gets. A woman was forced to have sex with her dead husband. And that too in his coffin. The woman, identified as Sarah Simirayi of Svisvi, Zimbabwe, carried out her estranged, deceased husband's demands by having sex with his body before burial. Sarah, who had left her husband for her new lover had recently moved back to her hometown after she was dumped by her lover. However, her estranged husband, Nunurayi Musamo, 68, died soon after she returned. In a note which Nunurayi left behind, he asked it to be read at his funeral. In the note, he had left a message for Sarah saying that he had died of a broken heart by missing her and asked that she make love to him before he is buried. Initially, she resisted, but after she was pressurised by the man's family, she accepted the task. A relative said that they opened the coffin and that Sarah reportedly got on top of Nunurayi's body and had sex. Relatives say the dead man was able to perform "quite sa...
