Richard Ncube (48), a truck driver for Top Channel, and his assistant Alex Moyo (22) appeared in court this week facing serious allegations of sexually abusing a male passenger. Both men have been charged with aggravated indecent assault.
The pair was brought before Harare Magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa and were remanded in custody until November 19 for a bail application.
According to court papers, on November 10, the complainant boarded Ncube’s truck in Chegutu, intending to travel to Chitungwiza via Harare. After arriving in Harare, Ncube parked the truck at Zim Meal Company in Waterfalls, where the complainant fell asleep in the passenger seat.
It is alleged that Ncube then removed the complainant’s clothing and began to touch him inappropriately. When the complainant objected, Moyo reportedly intervened, threatening him with a gun-like object. Ncube is further accused of performing sexual acts on the complainant without his consent.
Feeling unsafe and unfamiliar with the area, the complainant remained in the truck overnight. The following morning, he reported the incident to the police at ZRP Mbare, leading to the arrest of both Ncube and Moyo.

Truck Driver In Court For Sodomising Male Passenger

A truck driver, Cosmas Kazuzu, is in trouble after he allegedly posed as “Matinyadze” from Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga’s office and threatened Douglas Zimbango, the CEO of Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Company (ZCDC), to reinstate the suspended human resources manager, Lavet Wadawarewa.
As reported by <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200034555/trucker-in-trouble-for-name-dropping-chiwenga">NewsDay</a>, Kazuzu is accused of making multiple calls to Zimbango, threatening to expose ZCDC officials’ alleged involvement in diamond theft if the suspension was not lifted.
He appeared before magistrate Tapiwa Banda and was remanded in custody, with a bail application expected this Tuesday.
On August 5, Kazuzu allegedly contacted Zimbango, claiming to have documents incriminating him in theft and fraud involving diamonds at ZCDC.
On August 12, he reportedly sent a text message to Zimbango, threatening him with dismissal if the charges against Wadawarewa were not dropped.
Kazuzu is being represented by lawyer Scott Panashe Mamimine.
It is further alleged that on August 16 Kazuzu contacted Elias Mvere, the chief security officer at ZCDC, identifying himself as Matinyadze from Vice-President Chiwenga’s office to inquire about the suspension of human resources manager Lavet Wadawarewa.
During the conversation, Kazuzu claimed to have a document detailing criminal activities at ZCDC involving the complainant and other senior managers. He threatened to take the document to Chiwenga if the disciplinary charges were not withdrawn.
Kazuzu sent a document titled “Developments @ ZCDC” to Mvere via his mobile phone, instructing that it be forwarded to the complainant.
The document allegedly contained allegations of theft and fraud against the complainant and other senior managers at ZCDC.
Mvere raised a complaint with ZCDC CEO Douglas Zimbango, sharing the document via WhatsApp.
Investigations by the police led to Kazuzu’s arrest.

Truck Driver In Trouble For Posing As VP Chiwenga's Aide

The driver of a haulage truck that was involved in an accident that claimed the lives of 16 church members along the Harare-Masvingo highway on Friday last week is facing 16 culpable homicide charges.
Culpable homicide involves unintentional killing due to negligence or recklessness, as outlined in the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.
The company that owns the haulage truck had its licence cancelled pending investigations, <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/driver-transporter-punished-over-beatrice-horror-crash/">reported The Herald</a>.
According to Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Felix Mhona, investigations revealed that the driver did not have relevant competency to drive public service vehicles, in line with the Road Traffic Act.
Responding to questions from journalists during Tuesday’s post-Cabinet briefing, Mhona said punishing the driver and cancelling the transport company’s operator’s licence will send a stern warning to drivers and operators of public service vehicles.
Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage Minister, Kazembe Kazembe, said his ministry will work with the Ministry of Transport to ensure that negligent drivers are brought to book and police officers manning roadblocks enforce the law. He said:
<blockquote>
We are doing our utmost through the police to ensure that there is law enforcement. And not only that, we are working together with my counterpart, Minister Mhona, to leave no stone unturned in this regard.
For starters, we are going to be investigating every incident of an accident, starting with this particular one that has just happened.
We must ascertain the cause of the accident, whether it resulted from the driver’s poor decision-making, mechanical faults, or bus overloading.
</blockquote>
Kazembe said the investigation will seek to establish if the vehicle passed through roadblocks and why it was not apprehended in the event it was overloaded. He added:
<blockquote>
We are doing that as an intervention to ensure that we bring sanity to our roads. Secondly, we are also working together with my counterparts to ensure that we will equip our police officers to be able to carry out their mandate, to be able to account for those who are driving under the influence of alcohol and, you know, drugs and substances.
</blockquote>
Ministers Mhona and Kazembe later issued a joint statement urging drivers to be cautious on the road during the Workers’ Day holiday this Wednesday.
The statement said police and the Vehicle Inspectorate Department (VID) will be out in full force throughout the Workers’ Day holiday to remove defective vehicles from the roads and enforce other relevant laws.

Police said one of the boys, aged 11 died, while his colleague, aged 10, was injured in the incident.
The driver of the truck and three passengers who were on board abandoned the vehicle and fled from the scene. Police said:
<blockquote>

In another hit-and-run incident, a 32-year-old man sustained leg injuries after he was hit by an unknown motorist driving a Mercedes Benz in Hatfield on Saturday. Police said:
<blockquote>

</blockquote>
In Zimbabwe, the penalty for a hit-and-run offence is governed by the Road Traffic Act.
If a person is found guilty of a hit and run, they can face criminal charges, which may include fines and imprisonment depending on the severity of the incident, whether there were injuries or fatalities involved, and other relevant circumstances.

Truck Driver Abandons Vehicle And Flees After Knocking Down Two Boys In Epworth

Zimbabwean truck drivers in South Africa have won a legal victory in the Durban High Court, which ruled that they cannot be dismissed from work if they have a valid permit, such as the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwean_Exemption_Permit_Visa/">Zimbabwean Exemption Permit (ZEP)</a>. The case was brought by several truckers who were terminated from their jobs, despite having valid ZEP permits.
The court prohibited the employer from firing ZEP holders on the grounds of being illegal immigrants until the ZEP expires in June 2024, <a href="https://www.moneyweb.co.za/news/south-africa/zim-truckers-with-valid-permits-cannot-be-fired-durban-high-court/">MoneyWeb</a> reported. The truckers have been given 10 days to prove to the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) that they have lawful ZEP permits allowing them to live and work in SA. Image Freight Logistics also has 10 days to prove that it has complied with the ruling. 
This decision comes after the Minister of Home Affairs decided to terminate the ZEP system, which aimed to regularise the status of Zimbabwean migrants in South Africa. The truckers argued that they were fired through WhatsApp messages after a notice from the bargaining council advised against employing foreign truck drivers without valid work permits. The bargaining council notice reads:
<blockquote>
Industry stakeholders have taken issue with companies that opt to employ truck drivers of foreign nationality without valid work permits over South African truck drivers. The Parties are of the firm belief that if responsible companies refrain from this illegal act and prioritize employing South African truck drivers as professional truck driving is unfortunately not a scarce skill, these may help address unemployment within the sector and curb unrest.
</blockquote>
Some employers in South Africa misunderstood the notice and fired Zimbabwean truck drivers who had valid work permits. The Durban High Court’s interim order will become final on 6 February 2024, unless contested. The case involved Image Freight Logistics, the ministers of transport, labour, and home affairs, as well as 11 truck drivers and the Zimbabwean Exemption Permit Holders Association (Zepha) as applicants. Says Advocate <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Simba_Chitando/">Simba Chitando</a>, who represented the truckers in court:
<blockquote>
The order by the Durban High Court affirms the rights of ZEP holders in the logistics industry, which is crucial for regional trade and stability.
</blockquote>
Chitando called upon all employers, regulatory bodies, the Department of Labour, Home Affairs, and the police to respect the rights of not only ZEP holders but also all Zimbabweans. He stated that targeting Zimbabweans goes against the rule of law in a constitutional democracy.

South Africa: Court Blocks Dismissal Of Zimbabwean Truck Drivers Who Have ZEPs

A truck driver was involved in two separate road traffic accidents on Sunday night leading to six deaths and eight injuries.
Police said the truck side-swiped a kombi at the 5km peg along Mvuma-Gweru Road around 11 PM on Sunday and did not stop.
Six people were killed in the accident while five others were injured and ferried to Mvuma Hospital for medical care.
The truck driver was later involved in another road traffic accident along the Harare–Masvingo Road resulting in three people sustaining injuries. ZRP said:
<blockquote>
The ZRP confirms a fatal road traffic accident in which six people died while five others were injured when a truck side-swiped with a Sprinter vehicle at the 5 km peg along Mvuma-Gweru Road on 09/04/23 at around 2300 hours.
The bodies of the victims were taken to Mvuma Hospital for post-mortem while the injured are admitted at the same hospital.
The truck driver did not stop after the accident and was involved in another accident at the 192 km peg along Harare–Masvingo Road where the truck veered off the road resulting in the injury of three passengers who were in the truck.
</blockquote>
Police said more details will be released in due course. 
ZRP, however, did not disclose the driver’s identity or the nature of the consignment he was ferrying.
<a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/opinion-amp-analysis/article/76586/procedures-after-an-accident">According to a report,</a> the Road Traffic Act Chapter 13:11 Section 70 sets out the duties of drivers when involved in accidents.
Section 70(2) states that any person, who is a driver of a vehicle on or near a road at the time when the vehicle is involved in or contributes to an accident in which injury is caused to any person or damage to any property or if a person or animal is killed the first duty is to stop immediately.
Failure to stop when an accident occurs is a serious criminal offence — in other words hitting and running is a crime no matter the circumstance.
After stopping, the second duty is to ascertain whether any person has been killed or injured.
The third duty is to render any assistance possible or capable of being reasonably rendered.
If someone has died, the other driver, regardless of fault, has a duty to take all reasonable measures to guard the corpse until the police arrive.
It is a requirement to alert the police immediately if the accident involves another vehicle or is of a serious nature.
Measures should be taken to contact the nearest police station or the traffic police general line.
The police should attend to all accident scenes.
It is an offence to tamper with evidence at an accident scene.
