Beitbridge Ferret Team denied bail

FIVE members of the Beitbridge Ferret Team arrested early this week for allegedly taking bribes from cross-border transporters have been denied bail by a local magistrate.

The five are Nyasha Mutema (41), Toddy Chirume (38), Public Mateta (43), Ernest Rwatinyanya (35), and Liberty Ngwenya (36).

They are accused of having demanded money from cross-border transporters entering the Zimbabwean side from South Africa through the Beitbridge Border Post.
