Workers steal US$500k property from Grace

FOUR men, who were employed by former First Lady Grace Mugabe, have been arrested after they allegedly stole household property and cutlery worth more than half a million United States dollars from her Blue Roof mansion in Borrowdale.

Allen Chinamonya (42), Danmore Chinamonya (35), Samson Karonga and Brighton Bunganirwa (46) were yesterday dragged before Harare magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa on allegations of stealing the property which was kept in a secure container.

Prosecutor Lancelot Mutsokoti said Allen was formerly employed at the Blue Roof Presidential residence as a groundsman and later as a driver from 2004 to 2022.
