TWO farm workers who allegedly connived to steal farm
equipment belonging to Minister of Defence and War Veterans Affairs Cde Oppah
Muchinguri-Kashiri have been nabbed and arraigned before the courts.
The two – Christopher Makombe and Munei Mavhure (both 31) –
were not asked to plead when they appeared before Rusape magistrate Mr Gift
Manyika on Wednesday.
Prosecutor Mr Tawanda Munjanja opposed bail arguing that
the suspects were of no fixed abode, except Middlepos Farm where the offence
was committed.
The two allegedly stole Modros metal floor bars valued at
$15 000 and nothing was recovered. Modros are metal tobacco curing facilities.
“On January 5, 2020 at around 2pm, the accused persons
connived to steal metal floor bars from four tobacco barns at Middlepos Farm.
Gilbert Zindi received a tip-off and made a report at Nyazura Police Station.
“The scene was attended leading to the arrest of the two
accused persons. It was discovered that the Modros metal iron bars were sold
and loaded into a lorry and ferried to an unknown destination,” he said. Manica
