3 thieving soldiers denied bail in Chiwenga case

THREE soldiers accused of stealing property worth $1,6 million from Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga’s Orchid Gardens farm in Domboshava have been denied bail by a Harare magistrate.

Anesu Munyika, Tempson Dhauramanzi and Paul Ndhlovu, who are attached to the Presidential Guard Battalion and represented by Tawanda Machinga, were denied bail together with their three accomplices Mind Makona, Edmore Huni and Simon Nyakabanga.

In denying them bail, magistrate Judith Taruvinga said the three were serving soldiers who could skip the border without being detected, hence were a flight risk.
