The five — Silas Chirume (54), Edward Jacob Gunda (62), Maison Phiri (37), Steven Wahita (56) and Isaac Muripa (37) — appeared before Harare Magistrates Dennis Mangosi who remanded them to July 8.

They are out of custody.

Chirume is employed as a diamond inspector at the Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe (MMCZ).

Phiri is a diamond evaluator at the MMCZ.

 Gunda is an assistant security manager at Anjin Investments offices at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe (RGM) International Airport in Harare.
