Congregant steals kombi during prayer session

AN UNLICENCED Goromonzi man, who stole a fellow church mate’s commuter omnibus during a prayer session and later dumped it in Shamva, was on Monday sentenced to a six-year jail term for vehicle theft.

Tedson Gwabada had initially denied the charge of stealing Abudu Bilani’s vehicle, but Marondera magistrate Ignatius Mhene ruled against him due to overwhelming evidence presented in court.

The court heard that the stolen vehicle had 11 bags of shelled maize and a bucket of tomatoes.
