FUGITIVE suspected killer Peter Dube, who was a car dealer, will finally face justice in Zimbabwe, after being on the run for nearly three years.

Mozambique extradited him today.

In a statement police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the latest development.

“The ZRP confirms that murder and attempted murder suspect, Peter Dube has been deported from Mozambique because of fake national identity and passport documents. A team of ZRP detectives will receive him at 1405 hours at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport.”

Dube was wanted by the ZRP for fatally shooting three people and injuring another in Gweru in  2021.

He is alleged to have fled to South Africa, before relocating to Eswatini and later to Ireland.

However, luck ran out for Dube on 14 June, after he was arrested and convicted of violating Ireland’s immigration laws.

He was deported to Mozambique after claiming to be a citizen of that country having fraudulently acquired a passport.

The ZRP, through Interpol, then sought Dube’s extradition from Mozambique.

Allegations are that on 23 April 2021, Dube, fatally shot his second wife, Nyasha Nharingo’s suspected lover Shelton Chinhango.

After shooting Chinhango, he then killed his wife’s best friend, Gamuchirai Mudungwe.

Dube allegedly went on to shoot Nyasha and her sister Nyaradzo, and the latter died in hospital.

POLICE   have arrested two suspects in connection with a spate of stock theft cases that occurred   in Kadoma.

According to a police statement, Francis Masvora (54) and Takudzwa Masvora  (26)  are alleged to be involved in the theft of 28 cattle in and around the Turf area  from January last year to  February this year.

Acting on a tip off a police crack team raided the pair’s residence in Eiffel Flats in Kadoma.

Following investigations, the pair could not account for 15 cattle found in their possession.

The arrest led to the recovery of eight cows, four heifers, one bull and two calves from the suspects’ kraal.

The recovered cattle were all positively identified by five complainants.

Further investigations led to the recovery of 13 cattle sold to five buyers.

The value of the 28 recovered cattle is US $14 000.

HARARE mayor Jacob Mafume has announced that council has suspended  23  officials on  allegations  of corruption involving millions of dollars, taking advantage of  the removal of the proper high-end Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) billing system .

Recently government refused to approve Harare’s 2024 budget citing the lack of a functional computer-based organisational system ( ERP) which  has contributed greatly to low revenue collection.

Mafume told journalists that the removal of the ERP in 2019 had created loopholes in having fully audited accounts for the City of Harare with all revenue and payments accounted for.

“We now have over 23 staff in the finance department on suspension pending disciplinary hearings because of a gap, among other things, created by lack of an ERP system and audited accounts,”
