Said Msebele:<\/p>\n<p>He disembarked from a commuter omnibus at Maplanka Shops in Luveve and noticed that the suspect had also alighted at the same location.<\/p>\n<p>As he walked along Intemba Road, he became suspicious when he saw the suspect appearing to talk on his mobile phone.<br \/>\nThe victim stopped to let the suspect pass, but the man pulled out an unidentified pistol and shot him once in the stomach.<\/p>\n<p>Msebele said the victim collapsed on the spot after being shot and began bleeding heavily from the wound. She added:<\/p>\n<p>The suspect then searched him, took his bag containing US$5,700, BWP2,000, R1,400, and a Samsung A13 mobile phone before fleeing the scene.<\/p>\n<p>A police report was filed, but the suspect has yet to be located. The victim was taken to Mpilo Hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Msebele urged the public to avoid carrying large sums of money, especially at night, as it increases the risk of being targeted by criminals.<\/p>\n<p>She said people deposit large amounts of money in banks instead of keeping it on their person or at home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Zimbabwe<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
