Transporter frets over seized trucks

A HARARE transport operator, Ephraim Mujawo, has approached the High Court seeking release of his seven 30-tonne trucks which were impounded by police last month after being suspected to have been stolen.

Mujawo claimed that the State withdrew the case on January 21 for lack of evidence, but police have refused to release the vehicles.

In his urgent chamber application to the High Court, Mujawo cited one Detective Sergeant Muuya and Mukura, officer-in-charge Vehicle Theft Squad Nzirawa, Police Commissioner-General Godwin Matanga and Home Affairs minister Kazembe Kazembe.
