A director at Waterfalls‑based boarding school Focus Academy is in trouble after he allegedly stole a Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) camera drone in Mazowe District.
The matter came to light at the Concession Magistrates Court on Thursday, where the director, Darlington Dumba, appeared facing a theft charge.
Dumba and five others pleaded not guilty and were remanded out of custody to 4 May.
The State alleged that sometime in February, Dumba and his accomplices were conducting illegal mining activities at Grenbroke Farm in Concession.
A ZBC news crew reportedly arrived at the farm to film the illegal operations, angering Dumba, who allegedly used a catapult to strike the drone, causing it to fall.
The suspects then picked up the drone and threw it into a dam.
A police report was filed, leading to their arrest.
