conductor and a passenger on the front seat.
“The conductor charged us RTGS2 before the passenger on the
front seat indicated that we should pay RTGS5.
“The conductor stated that the fare was RTGS2 for the
journey. I then asked the passenger why he was telling us to pay RTGS5 before
he started shouting at me.
“We then started exchanging words with him before he armed
himself with pistol which was in the dashboard.”
Added Lazzy: “The conductor warned him against the
behaviour before he returned the pistol in the dashboard and an altercation
continued until we reached corner Chinhoyi and Robert Mugabe Road.
“The passenger then disembarked and came at the door before
he started assaulting my colleague Frank Dhausi threatening us.
“He pointed the gun and during the altercation he forcefully
took his mobile phone before taking Patra’s mobile also.
“He then then disappeared but I managed to capture the
Kombi’s registration numbers AEU 7957,” he said. H Metro
