*📰Bail Set at $800 for Man Who Allegedly Stole $238,000*

In a plot twist straight out of a heist movie, High Court Judge Justice Regis Dembure has granted US$800 bail to Kelly Chinaka, a Zengeza 2 man accused of masterminding a robbery that netted a whopping US$238,000 from a local company last year.

Chinaka, represented by Moffat Makuvatsine, is facing charges of robbery. The State alleges that Chinaka, along with his partners in crime—Kennedy Mbundire, Owen Mutera, Tedious Desmond Munyaradzi Mhungira, and three others still on the run—pulled off the daring heist.

The gang reportedly stormed the company offices, held the guards hostage at gunpoint, and used a grinder to crack open the safes, making off with the cash. The loot was then divvied up among the crew.

Adding to the drama, the State has evidence of phone calls between Chinaka and his accomplices right after the crime. Despite the grand total of US$238,000 stolen, only US$6,500 has been recovered so far.

“And if there are any security companies who have requested the services of the police, there is nothing sinister or bad about that. As the police, we are available to beef up security whenever we are requested to do so,” said national police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi.

FOLLOWING a surge in robbery cases nationwide, security companies are teaming up with the Zimbabwe Republic Police Support Unit to boost security for cash-in-transit deliveries and other operations.

The roles of the Support Unit include public order management, major disaster and hostage situation management, protection of key/vital installations and VIPs, border patrols, anti-stock theft and sub-aqua duties.

Last Thursday, The Herald witnessed heavily armed officers from the Support Unit conducting duties at a security company in Southerton, Harare.

National police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the developments.

“We have always said those who want police services in terms of training and any other assistance, they can always approach the Commissioner-General of Police Godwin Matanga.

“And if there are any security companies who have requested the services of the police, there is nothing sinister or bad about that. As the police, we are available to beef up security whenever we are requested to do so,” he said.

At a Crime Liaison Committee (CLC) workshop that was held in Harare last Friday, police officers were urged to adapt and enhance their strategies in response to evolving threats from criminals.

The workshop brought together officers-in-charge in the city as well as CLC chairpersons from the province, district, and station levels.

The Officer Commanding Harare, Commissioner Maxwell Chikunguru, Comm Nyathi and CLC chairperson for Harare Province, Dr Nathaniel Madzivanyika, also attended the workshop.

Ex-soldier arrested for ‘killing’ father-in-law, ‘robberies’
September 20, 2024
Danisa Masuku
A FORMER soldier who was accused of having killed his father-in-law and fled to Bulawayo before finding refuge in North End suburb where he reportedly went on a robbery spree has been arrested.

Stanley Nkomo (42) from Gokwe in Midlands Province was arrested on Tuesday in North End suburb.
A source close to investigations said sometime in April this year while Nkomo was boozing with his father-in-law in Gokwe, an altercation broke out.

“He erupted into anger accusing his father-in-law of having allowed his wife to desert him and marry another man while he was serving a jail sentence in Khami Prison for a fraud case in 2019,” said the source.

After that the pair who were neighbours, the source said, left for their homes and while they were walking, Nkomo turned his ex-father-in-law into a punching bag.

“While they were walking Nkomo landed blows on his father-in-law and indiscriminately attacked him all over the body with an iron bar,” said the source.

According to the source, Marikiti tumbled to the ground and bled, Nkomo left him in a pool of blood. The source said Marikiti later died. His ex-wife’s family did not take kindly to that.

“His life was in danger and he had to flee to Bulawayo to seek refuge and stayed at North End suburb. While he was in North End, he terrorised and pounced on residents who mostly walked in dark spots during the night. He said as a means of survival he had to rob people because he did not have a source of income.”

One of his victims Thabo Sithole, a resident at North End suburb narrated how he was robbed by Nkomo.

“We met at North End shops, during our conversation he lied to me that he was a soldier stationed at Mzilikazi Barracks (former Brady Barracks) and asked me

Cop r**es maid, threatens to kill her
September 20, 2024
B-Metro Reporter

A police officer stationed at Nkulumane Police Station in Bulawayo has found himself on the wrong side of the law after he allegedly r***d his maid while his wife was at work.

Last Friday, the police officer (name withheld to protect the identity of the victim) came home from work and found his helper alone. It is said he removed his uniform and wore his casual clothes before he went to the kitchen.

A source said he had food, and after that, he pulled a shocker as he strayed from lawful lines. He allegedly grabbed the housemaid from behind. The unsuspecting maid screamed, however, being on a mission, the cop was not disturbed as he allegedly covered her mouth with his hand while dragging her to the living room.

Upon getting into the living room he threw her on the sofa before he reportedly carried out the s*xual attack. After that he threatened to kill her if she disclosed the ordeal to his wife, said the source.

The traumatised maid later summoned courage and phoned her aunt and told her about the s*xual attack. The aunt, the source said, phoned the cop’s wife who when she arrived from work accompanied the maid to Tshabalala Police Station and reported the incident. The incident was recorded under case number RRB5967700. Bulawayo Police Spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube could not immediately comment on the matter.

Post Reporter

IN a horrifying incident that sent chills down the spines of villagers, a Chipinge man did the unthinkable when he brutally murdered his one-year-old nephew by hacking his head with a machete several times.

The heart-wrenching incident happened on September 14, in Mbeure Village under Chief Musikavanhu’s area.

It is alleged that Kufakwevantu Chirigo (37)’s violent physical assault was driven by the desire to force his sister, Uria Porai Chirigo (21), to return to her husband’s home together with her child.

Uria had recently returned to her parents’ home after her marriage had hit the rocks – something which her brother vehemently disapproved as he had on several occasions sought to kick her out from their parents’ homestead, leading to the brutal machete attack.

Acting Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka, confirmed the spine-chilling incident, and identified the deceased as Advisor Mlambo (one).

Advisor’s body was taken to St Peter’s Mission Hospital mortuary for a post-mortem, while Uria was also taken to the same hospital where she was admitted.

Her condition was said to be critical after sustaining severe injuries from both machete and axe brutal attacks.

“On September 14, the accused person, Kufakwevantu Chirigo, who was heavily intoxicated, arrived home, and demanded that his sister returns to her husband’s place together with her child.

“When his sister, Uria Porai Chirigo remained silent, Chirigo became aggressive, grabbed a hammer and hit her once on the back. She took her baby and sought refuge inside the house, locking the door,” he said.

Assistant Inspector Chinyoka said an agitated Chirigo broke the window latch to gain entry into the house where his

Runyararo Ndaramo and Chipo Mukorama

A Murehwa family has dragged their father to court accusing him of bewitching them and causing miscarriages affecting his daughters and daughters-in-law.

The 80-year-old man, being accused of witchcraft, was taken to a traditional healer’s shrine for the whole night.

Only identified as Didza, he was taken to a Mabelreign traditional healer where he soiled himself after being given an unidentified liquid mixture.

Didza revealed the abuse at the hands of children, before Harare Civil Court magistrate Meenal Naratom where he was seeking a protection order against the children Alex, Kudzanai, and Tambudzai.

Tambudzai

The three accused him of witchcraft and causing death of family members and miscarriages. Didza claimed that his children consulted a sangoma and are in the habit of calling him a witch.

“Tambudzai asked me to accompany her to a traditional healer in Mabelreign, who alleged that I was a witch. The traditional healer was hired by my children.”

He also stated that the healer drugged him, and made incisions on his head and knee.

Didza also said he was accused of causing family members’ deaths and miscarriages.

“I was drugged and the next morning l woke up wearing a diaper. I also noticed that the traditional healer had cut my head and knee.

“He alleged that l am the one behind the death of my family members.

“They allege that l feast on the blood of the deceased,” he said.

Didza denied the allegations, stating that it was his late older brother who was involved in witchcraft, not him.

He accused his children of trying to extort money from him and seeking revenge.

“My late older brother was the one involved in witchcraft and my children are aware of that.”

Meanwhile, Alex said a traditional healer confirmed their suspicions.

AN ALERT member of the public helped in the apprehension of a pickup truck which had five carcasses of beasts after he called out members of the public to assist in effecting citizen arrest.

While Shepherd Ncube was at his workplace in Nkulumane suburb he noticed a truck which had parked suspiciously near the precast wall of his workplace. It is said Ncube went to the vehicle and it had three occupants including a driver.

“Upon reaching the vehicle he noticed that there were two males and a driver. While he was talking to the driver he noticed that the canopy of the truck had carcasses. Ncube requested to see the documents which authorized them to carry carcasses. While he was talking to the driver, the two males offered to bribe him so that he could let them go but he refused,” said the source.

It is alleged that the driver started the ignition to drive off but Ncube held the steering wheel.

“The driver ( Bhekilizwe Nyathi) pulled out an axe and hit him with the back of it on the mouth. Ncube fell down. The driver drove off but the determined Ncube rose up quickly and ran to the truck before holding onto the canopy while calling out members of the public to help in effecting citizen arrest,” said the source.

The source added: “Members of the public heard the calls and came out in large numbers to assist. They pursued the vehicle until the driver stopped near Phekiwe River in Nkulumane suburb before he and his accomplices bolted out the car and ran for their dear lives.

*📰Zimbabweans at Risk from Dangerous S*x Enhancement Products, Warns Medical Expert*

https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaCpFg0ICVfdASZ22l39

The rising demand for s*x enhancement products in Zimbabwe has put many lives at risk, according to a leading medical expert.

In an interview, Dr. Johannes Marisa, the President of the Medical and Dental Private Practitioners Association of Zimbabwe, highlighted the dangers associated with these medications.

"People seek pleasure, but the issue is that they often overdose on these medications," Marisa explained. "This is a significant problem in Zimbabwe, where some individuals, due to having multiple partners, take more than the recommended dose, leading to complications."

While s*x enhancement drugs are approved for treating s*xual ailments, Marisa warned that overdosing can have severe consequences.

"Standard doses are generally safe, but overdoses can be harmful and lead to problems like severe headaches, blurred vision, and even hypertension, which can be fatal."

The issue came to the forefront recently with the death of former police Chief Superintendent Francis Matsika.

Matsika, who was reportedly suffering from erectile dysfunction, died at his girlfriend's home during intimacy after requesting a s*x enhancement concoction.

The Human Enhancement Drug Network defines s*x enhancers as drugs designed to improve erectile function or increase s*xual arousal and desire. These products have become widely available in Zimbabwe, with some being sold by illegal traders outside of medical supervision.

"This is a serious problem that is putting many lives at risk," Marisa said. "We urge the public to only use these medications under the guidance of a licensed medical professional, and to be very careful about overdosing, as the consequences can be devastating."

I don’t even know or have ever driven the vehicle which is alleged to have been driven that day as a getaway after the offence,” he said.

Two State witnesses testified they saw the accused and his friend carrying an empty yellow paper bag and coming out of the shop with it loaded. They said the accused hurriedly left the place and got into a Honda Fit.

The court heard that on 25 October 2023, at around 10am, the accused was seen carrying an empty yellow paper bag and entering a shop situated along Fifth Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in Bulawayo.

The accused is said to have come out with it loaded and left hurriedly using a Honda Fit. The matter came to light when the complainant, Thulani Magagula, checked his CCTV footage and saw the accused allegedly stealing the money.

The matter was reported to the police, leading to the arrest of the accused.
