A PROMINENT Esigodini gold dealer is in hot water after he allegedly shot his employees for demanding their dues.
Baron Dube has been dragged to court after allegedly shooting Nyasha Nkiwane and Thulani Ndebele - who are battling for life at United Bulawayo Hospitals.
Dube appeared before Esigodini resident magistrate Tawanda Muchemwa facing attempted murder charges.
Muchemwa did not ask Dube to plead and he remanded him in custody to September 15.
Dube was also advised to apply to the High Court for bail.
According to the State, Nkiwane was allegedly shot by Dube at the back of the left shoulder and on the back of the left thigh, who used a revolver magnum Taurus.
He also shot Ndebele on the left thigh using the same weapon, it further alleged.
Dube was found in possession of the firearm and four open cartridges.
After his arrest, the police noted that the community was not happy with Dube's behaviour hence he was not a suitable candidate to be let out of custody.
"The community is not happy with Dube's conduct; he would end up in another further scandal which will result in him retaliating. Investigations are incomplete. The State is still waiting for a medical report from the hospital," it argued.
