Two young Zimbabweans have been jailed in Botswana for 10 years each for robbing three women in January last year.
Ophius Ndlovu, 19, and Achkim Moyo, 24, are said to have committed the offences in Gerald Estates. They were charged with robbing Golekwang Motlhanka of a black bag containing an Identity Card (ID), a passport, photos, a Nokia cellphone worth P200 and cash amounting to P13. In the second count, they were charged with robbing Dimpho Dipitse of a black handbag worth P200.
The bag contained a Spar supermarket uniform, a scarf valued at P10, a black blazer worth P89, a vest worth P20, a Samsung phone worth P200, a Stanbic Bank card, Zion Christian Church card, passport and gold ear rings worth P300.
In the last count, the duo is said to have robbed Tshedukani Dabutha of a handbag worth P20, a driver's licence, ID, Air Fone cell phone worth P200 and P20. In his ruling the magistrate said the offences committed were very prevalent in the country and needed to be stopped. He therefore said stiff sentences are appropriate to deter would-be-offenders.
