JOYLINE Musamba, the wife of a notorious armed robber Roy Pedzai Jambaya, yesterday appeared before Harare magistrate Dennis Mangosi facing allegations of laundering US$28 000 proceeds of a robbery her husband was implicated.
Musamba (33) who was represented by Kudakwashe Munyoro from
Chizengeya Maeresera and Partners was remanded to November 1 on US$200 bail.
Investigating officer Veronica Jangano, however, opposed
bail saying Musamba was facing a serious crimewhich attracts a lengthy
custodial sentence.
Circumstances are that on August 21 this year, Jambaya who
is in remand prison together with his accomplices, committed an armed robbery
at corner Leopold Takawira Street and Bute Street, Harare, where they got off
with US$128 932. After the act, Jambaya got his share of US$28 500 and handed
the money to his wife for safekeeping.
Musamba allegedly bought a house in Natview Park, Mutare,
knowing that the money was part of proceeds of crime.
