Tourism Minister, Prisca Mupfumira’s generator was stolen
from her farm in Chinhoyi and sold to a local businessman.
Blessed Kativhu (27) of Sikona Farm was arrested and
charged with stealing the Kippor 6500 e5 diesel generator at Highbury Plot 10,
known as Mupfumira Estates.
Kativhu. was staying at the farm’s guest house when he
connived with Tinashe Chingwende and one Kizito, who are still at large, to
steal the generator. The trio sold the generator to one Mwangano of 13583
Gunhill Extension, Chinhoyi, who runs an ice cream inn bar at the main bus
terminus. Mangwano had negotiated to buy the stolen property for $2 000 and
paid half of the amount through EcoCash.
The matter came to light after Mateu Changadeya, a manager
at the farm, discovered that the generator was missing and reported the matter
to the police who instituted investigations which led the ice cream bar,
following a tip-off.
Mwangano implicated Kativhu who also in turn implicated
Chingwende and Kizito. Kativhu was ordered to pay a $200 fine or spend three
months behind bars.
