Two illegal gold miners, infamously called Mashurugwi, reportedly fought using dangerous weapons until they killed each other in Zvishavane last week on Monday.
Reports indicate that the fight between Tapfumaneyi Muza (28) of Hwinya Village, Chief Nhema and Gilbert Dendere (29) was so fierce that onlookers at Dombwe Business Centre fled into the bushes to hide.
The onlookers only returned to the scene after the noise died down and were shocked to see the two protagonists lying on the ground side by side, dead.
Muza had been released from prison on bail for attempted murder three days before the fatal fight.
He was represented in his bail application by Abitar Mugari of Pamacheche, Gundu and Dube Legal Practitioners.
According to a police memo seen by The Mirror, on 28 November 2022, at 9 PM at Dombwe Business Centre, Dendere who had a grudge against Muza approached the latter and they started fighting.
Muza allegedly stabbed Dendere with a Columbia knife several times in the chest and in retaliation, Dendere stabbed Muza in the neck and struck him with an axe on the left ear resulting in the deaths of the two.
Police were called to the scene and they collected the bodies.
Muza was previously arrested for stoning a police officer on duty at Dombwe and stabbing him with a knife three times.
Muza then took the cop’s gun which he surrendered to the nearest headman. | <a href="https://masvingomirror.com/2-mashurugwi-fight-each-until-they-both-drop-dead/">The Mirror</a>

ZRP Looking For 30 MaShurugwi That Wreaked Havoc At A Business Center In Fort Rixon

ZRP In Shurugwi arrested a group of machete wielding robbers who had invaded Tebekwe Mine in Shurugwi, The Herald reports.
The gang popularity known as Mashurugwi had disarmed the security guard at the mine and they were reportedly advancing towards the mine’s milling plant where they wanted to steal gold according to the publication,
The publication quoted the mine manager Thamsanqa Maseko who reportedly narrated the incident and said:
<blockquote>The illegal miners were armed with iron bars and machetes and threatened to harm everyone at the mine. They ordered the milling plant to stop running and declared that they were taking over the mine.
They were about 50, the majority armed with machetes and iron bars, said Mr Maseko. They went around the mine’s milling plant singing and stressing that they were taking over the mine.
We did not know that there was another group, which had attacked the security guards at the mine entrance.
Police swiftly responded to their emergency calls and arrived at the scene to find the two security guards, including the one who was in handcuffs, being assaulted.
Upon seeing a police truck, the illegal miners fled in different directions, but police managed to arrest eight of them</blockquote>
One of the guards was stabbed near the ear in the incident and he is reportedly admitted at a hospital in Shurugwi. The incident was confirmed by Midlands police spokesperson Inspector Joel Goko.

The Minister of State for National Security in the President’s Office, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Owen_Ncube" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Owen Ncube</a> said that only one MaShurugwi gang is still to be accounted for, with the rest having been arrested.
Ncube said this while responding to a question from Senator Bekithemba Mpofu in the Senate last week on what his Ministry is doing about the machete-wielding gangs. Said Ncube;
<blockquote>I would like to thank the Hon Member for asking such a pertinent question. The issue of <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/MaShurugwi" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MaShurugwi</a> has been dealt with. I think we are only left to account for one group.
All the other groups have been arrested. They have appeared in court and some of them have been sentenced. I thank you.</blockquote>
The MaShurugwi menace reached its zenith towards the end of 2019 as the violent machete-wielding thugs attacked and robbed people across the country.

The Commission extends its heartfelt sympathies to the family of Constable Hokoyo, his workmates and the Commissioner-General and staff on this disturbing and untimely death of our gallant protector of law and public order and fundamental human rights.

A Member of Parliament has denied claims that violent machete gangs terrorising people across the country, the infamous <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/MaShurugwi" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MaShurugwi</a>, are from Shurugwi, a district in the Midlands Province.
<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Temba_Mliswa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Temba Mliswa</a>, who represents Norton as an Independent legislator, is convinced that people from Shurugwi are not violent as it is his home area. He said:
<blockquote>I am from Shurugwi and the Shurugwi people do not behave like that.
I would also like to clarify that they are called ‘Mashurugwi’ because there was a lot of illegal mining in Shurugwi.
I would like to protect the people that I lead as a village head that the Shurugwi people are great people. They do not do machetes.</blockquote>
Some reports suggest that machete gangs are sponsored by some powerful politicians, with Home Affairs Minister <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Kazembe_Kazembe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kazembe Kazembe</a> on Thursday threatening arrest on those behind MaShurugwi.

MaShurugwi Machete Gangs Are NOT From Shurugwi - Mliswa

A Member of Parliament has called for authorities to deal decisively with violent informal gold miners known as <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/MaShurugwi" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MaShurugwi</a>.
Temba Mliswa, an Independent MP who represents Norton, said that decisive action should be taken against the marauding criminals who are fomenting violence in mining areas.
Writing for the Chronicle, Toby Sithole has attempted to explain the origins of this group of violent thugs. He said:
<blockquote>One school of thought says these machete-wielding criminals originated from Shurugwi, about 350 kilometres south of Harare, thus earning themselves the moniker MaShurugwi.
They became infamous for engaging in fights for very small arguments in the mines, (claims, women or high school rivalries) they would use shovels and picks to fight or kill each other.</blockquote>
There is fear that if the Mashurugwi menace is not nicked in the bud as a matter of urgency, the international community might classify Zimbabwean gold as “blood gold”.
MaShurugwi is reportedly active in parts of <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mazowe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mazowe</a> and Guruve in <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mashonaland_Central" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mashonaland Central province</a> where they terrorising settlers and farmers.
