Fidelity Printers is the gold buying arm of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ). Said Kambamura:

> What is a being channelled to Fidelity is only a third. I believe we are already producing 100 tonnes of gold as a country, but I am convinced that we are losing out to smuggling and under-declaration (of gold).

Kambamura added that whereas average gold production is 2.5 tonnes a month, from November, the government only received 20 kilograms:

> Our average production is 2.5 tonnes a month, but from November, we were operating at 47% and the bad news is that we have only received 20kgs.
