Brave Shopper Confronts Robbers In Harare

As schools prepare to open for the third term in just a few days, police are urging school authorities to follow the government’s directive to process payments through banks and not keep cash at their premises. This step is crucial in safeguarding schools from armed robbery.
Last term, several institutions suffered significant financial losses after being targeted by robbers during school fee collection from parents and guardians.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.zbcnews.co.zw/top-stories/schools-warned-against-keeping-large-sums-of-money-at-premises/">ZBC News</a>, Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) Deputy Spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Blessmore Chishaka emphasised the importance of schools taking proactive measures to avoid becoming targets for criminals. He said:
<blockquote>
Our call to the schools and school authorities is that they should actually adhere to the government system, which requires that they deposit school fees using the banking system. The hoarding of cash at schools is not advisable Why? Because schools become targets of criminals.
We also even advise parents that as they pay their school fees, they should use the banking system rather than carry large sums of cash to schools. This attracts criminals would then target them and rob them of their money.
</blockquote>
Last term, a school in Warren Park, Harare, was robbed in broad daylight where an armed gang posed as parents intending to pay school fees.
Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education Director of Communications and Advocacy, Taungana Ndoro, said:
<blockquote>
Schools must comply with government regulations and use ZiG for all financial transactions.
This imperative step will substantially reduce the risk of armed robberies, ensure a secure educational environment, and support the local economy.
</blockquote>
Lytton Primary School in Harare, Tafadzwa Primary School in Chitungwiza, Widdicombe Primary School in Hatfield, Ngezi Salvation Army Secondary School in Kadoma, Glen Norah 2 High School, and George Stark High School in Mbare all suffered significant financial losses due to armed robberies last term.
In an unrelated development, Assistant Commissioner Chishaka said police are closing in on a suspected armed gang responsible for a robbery at the Fawcett Security Company premises in Chipinge. On Wednesday morning, the gang stole over US$110,000 and more than ZAR 2,000,000.

Police are telling schools to use banks for fees. This will stop robbers. Schools got robbed last term so it's important. Police say don't keep cash at schools. Pay fees through banks. Parents should do this too. Some schools got robbed last term. Follow government rules to stay safe. Police are catching a gang in Chipinge. They stole a lot of money. Schools need to be careful. Police are protecting schools from robbers.

Police Advise Schools To Handle Fees Through Banks To Avoid Robberies

Seven armed robbers were recently sentenced to 12 years in prison each by the Harare Magistrates’ Court for a robbery that occurred on November 29, 2022.
The convicted robbers are Paul Makamelo, Kelvin Zimomo, Sign Makamelo, Partially Makamelo, Tonderai Norest Chibvongodze, Christopher Sithole, and Innocent Kasu.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), on November 29, 2022, around 7 AM, the 89-year-old complainant James Abrahams and his wife were in their bedroom when four of the accused individuals forced their way into the room, armed with knives and iron bars.
They demanded money and ransacked the room. When the complainant told them he had no money, one of the accused persons kicked him and ordered him to sit down.
The robbers then used a nylon cable to tie up the complainant and his wife, instructing them to sit on the floor.
Some of the accused persons lifted a safe from the floor and placed it on a chair in the bedroom, while others assaulted the complainant and his wife.
The complainant’s wife was untied and directed to retrieve the safe’s keys from a cupboard, which she handed over to one of the accused.
However, they were unable to open the safe, which contained US$55,000 in cash, gold, and other valuables, and took the entire safe with them.
After locking the complainant and his wife inside the bedroom, the robbers fled the scene.
A police report was filed, leading to the arrest of the accused persons. In total, US$62,415 worth of items were stolen, with US$6,000 recovered.

Seven Harare Robbers Jailed 12 Years Each

Two suspected armed robbers were arrested at a toll gate along the Mashava-Mhandamabwe tollgate on Monday leading to the recovery of property worth over US$15 000.
The arrest of Jacob Danda (36) and Michael Moyo (also known as Joseph Ushe) (27) at the tollgate led detectives to their accomplices, Tinashe Marufu (23) and Prince Ncube (37).
The robbers, according to police, used juju to avoid being caught.
As reported by <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/robbers-nabbed-at-tollgate-masvingo-police-recover-stolen-property/">The Herald</a>, suspects have been linked to 19 cases of robbery and two cases of housebreaking and unlawful entry in Masvingo City suburbs of Victoria Ranch, Rhodene, Clovery and Zimre Park, as well as other towns and cities in the country since the end of last month.
They allegedly used machetes and knives to rob their victims of cash and items such as laptops, clothes and shoes.
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson in Masvingo Province, Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa said Moyo and Danda were the first to be arrested after they were offered a lift heading to Bulawayo by a motorist.
The motorist reportedly became suspicious and alerted the police resulting in them being cornered at a toll gate along the Mashava-Mhandamabwe tollgate on Monday.
Insp Dhewa said Danda said Moyo and their two other accomplices had pounced at a house in the Zimre Park suburb at night and robbed the occupants of their valuables while allegedly armed with a machete last Sunday.
Moyo and Danda proceeded to Bulawayo while Marufu and Ncube headed to Zaka. After the first two were arrested, they led detectives in the arrest of the Zaka-bound duo.
Inspector Dhewa said the four suspects will appear in court soon and stole property worth over US$19 000 was recovered.

Police Arrest Six Suspects After Money Transfer Agency Is Robbed Of US$716k

Two suspected armed robbers were killed in a shootout with detectives in Harare on Tuesday, including a South African national, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has said.
Citing ZRP spokesman Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi, <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/2-armed-robbery-suspects-shot-dead-in-harare-3-south-africans-arrested/">ZimLive</a> reported that four other men, three of them South African and one Zimbabwean, were arrested and face charges of conspiracy to commit armed robbery and possession of firearms.
Jabulani Ngobeni (45), of Tzannen in Limpopo Province, South Africa, was allegedly shot dead after firing at detectives at a guest house in Harare.
Godknows Machingura (44), a Zimbabwean national, was reportedly shot dead while fleeing from police.
Police have named the arrested suspects as Andrew Masubelele (38) of Atteridgeville in Pretoria; Ndiafhi Makhado (39) of Tshakhuma in Limpopo; Emmanuel Makamo (22), of Alberton in Johannesburg and Paul Zhou (55) of Waterfalls in Harare.
The gang allegedly had a plan to rob a Chinese national with business operations in Kwekwe by ambushing his vehicle as he drove to Harare.
Detectives placed the gang under surveillance after learning that some of the suspects had entered the country through the Beitbridge border post, driving in a Ford Ranger with registration number JG-04 GH GP.
Investigators reportedly tracked them to a guest house on Mauritius Road in Arcadia, Harare.
It is alleged that on seeing the detectives, Ngobeni opened fire with his 9mm Star Pistol but was shot and disarmed.
He was arrested together with Makhado, Masubelele, Makamo and Zhou who told investigators that his role had been to secure accommodation and hire vehicles for the gang – a Toyota Fortuner and a Honda Fit.
Following interrogations, the suspects led police to Shamva where Machingura was allegedly monitoring the movements of the Chinese man who works on Birmingham Road in Kwekwe.
With the help of the suspects, police lured Machingura to Morgan High School in Arcadia.
However, upon seeing detectives, Machingura allegedly drove off at high speed leading to a chase during which he was shot in the groin and disarmed of a 9mm Taurus Pistol. He was declared dead upon arrival at Parirenyatwa Hospital.
Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said they are concerned by the growing number of foreign nationals committing armed robberies in the country.
Meanwhile, transnational crime in the Southern African region is a growing issue, with Zimbabwean nationals also implicated in armed robberies in Botswana and South Africa.
In 2021, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) was working on a comprehensive strategy to identify, understand and combat transnational organised crime in the region.
<a href="https://issafrica.org/impact/spotlight-a-new-sadc-strategy-to-combat-organised-crime-in-southern-africa">According to ISS</a>, SADC and its member states have separate protocols and strategies to address an array of growing cross-border threats including the smuggling of weapons, drugs and wildlife, as well as human trafficking.

Zimbabwean Robber Shot After Breaking Into A House Belonging To A Member Of SAPS

An Inyathi woman and her relative are lucky to be alive after they were shot multiple times and robbed of US$620 and two cell phones at a mine on Tuesday morning.
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson in Matabeleland South Province, Inspector Glory Banda, confirmed the incident.
He identified the victims as Edith and Nonhlanhla Ndlovu who are related.
The two women were asleep in a cabin at Lusinga mine when two suspected armed robbers broke in and shot at them before robbing them.
The women work at a tuckshop located within the mine premises. Said Insp Banda:
<blockquote>
It happened on 11 October around 1 AM, the two accused persons are not known, they first shot a bullet through the hole of the cabin at the mine and then they used a metal bar to gain entry.
</blockquote>
He said the suspects robbed the victim of two cell phones, an iPhone and a Hisense and took away US$620. Said Insp Banda:
<blockquote>
They were only given the money after shooting at the two women. One of the criminals shot at them indiscriminately, and it was later discovered after they had gone to Mpilo hospital that Edith had nine bullets in her right arm.
… They only got the US$620 and two cell phones and they left but the mine workers had to try to track the robbers and they only discovered that these people had parked their vehicle at Lingo mine, so they drove from Lingo mine towards Bulawayo but now the particulars of the vehicle or type of vehicle are not given.
</blockquote>
He implored members of the public not to fight with armed robbers as they might be killed.
Insp Banda also urged companies to install Closed-Circuit Televisions (CCTVs) on their premises. | <a href="https://cite.org.zw/woman-shot-nine-times-in-inyathi-mine-robbery/">CITE</a>
