TWO men teamed up to rob a man who had just withdrawn US$1 000 from an automated teller machine (ATM).
In a statement on X,the National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPAZ) said: "The Court heard that on 1 February 2024, Isaac Makonye (22) and Charles Gumbo (22) connived to rob the complainant who had just withdrawn money from an automated teller machine (ATM) at a bank in Chiredzi."
Makonye slapped the complainant in the face once and also hit him once on the forehead with a stone.
"Gumbo attacked the complainant from behind pinning him down to the ground."
