Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Police in Midlands Province have implored members of the public to desist from boarding pirate taxis (mushikashika) after a Redcliff man was robbed around midnight on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson in Midlands, Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko, confirmed that a 32-year-old man was robbed after he had boarded a pirate taxi without number plates. He said:<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwe Republic Police is investigating a robbery case whereby one, Tatenda Ranganai, a man aged 32 years of Mbizo, Kwekwe, boarded an unregistered silver Toyota Vitz at FBC Bank, Kwekwe, at about 2230 hours.<\/p>\n

(He was in the company of) John Chandiwana, a male aged 39 years, and Nkosinathi Khumalo a male aged 41 years, both of Redcliff, Kwekwe.<\/p>\n

The vehicle had two occupants, including the driver.<\/p>\n

Along the way, the driver diverted the route and stopped at a secluded place.<\/p>\n

The suspects produced knives and threatened to stab the three while demanding cash and valuables.<\/p>\n

Cash, cellphones and various groceries were taken from the three before they were dumped by the suspects, who drove back towards Kwekwe Central Business District.<\/p>\n

We are appealing to members of the public, with information about the suspects in these cases, to approach the nearest Police.<\/p>\n

Once again, we urge members of the public to desist from using Mushikashikas for transport, people should always use public transport.<\/p>\n
