Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA)<\/b> and Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services (ZPCS) officers who allegedly robbed a Chinese mine in Mazowe were arrested on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Tawanda Marumahoko (ZPCS) and Godfrey Chibanganye (ZNA) appeared before Bindura<\/b> regional magistrate Amos Mbobo facing a robbery charge.<\/p>\n

The duo pleaded not guilty and was remanded in custody, according to Bulawayo24.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Edward Katsvairo alleged that on November 12, 2022, the armed duo together with their 12 accomplices pounced on the Iron Cap mine to rob pregnant carbons.<\/p>\n

In the gold industry, activated carbon is used to recover gold from the gold-cyanide complex also known as the cyanide process. It is a technique for extracting gold from low-grade ore by converting the gold to a water-soluble coordination complex.<\/p>\n

The duo tied security guards with brickforce before robbing them of their phones.<\/p>\n

They proceeded to the storeroom where they robbed 300 kilograms of pregnant carbons valued at US$2 142.<\/p>\n

A police report was filed leading to the arrest of the duo.<\/p>\n

There have been several reported robbery cases involving serving or retired members of the uniformed forces prompting Parliament to summon military chefs to explain the trend.<\/p>\n

Some observers attribute the trend to the economic challenges in the country.<\/p>\n
