Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa said on Monday companies and individuals had returned $591-million in funds illegally stashed abroad after a 90-day amnesty to bring back the money expired last week but $827-million was still outstanding.

Mnangagwa announced a three-month amnesty for the return of public funds illegally stashed abroad when he was sworn-in in November after a defacto military coup forced Robert Mugabe to resign.
