Sir Wicknell’s House Gets Robbed
Some people are trying to prosper and make money out of other peoples sweat, Businessman Wicknell Chivayo lost various clothing items including 30 pairs of shoes worth thousands of dollars to thieves who broke into his house in Ballantyne Park in Harare.
One of the suspects, Ignatius Magaya (40) of Mufakose, has since been arrested in connection with the matter. Some of the stolen property was recovered at Magaya’s farm in Kutama and when he was arrested, he was wearing Chivayo’s pair of shoes. Magaya yesterday appeared before Mr Vakayi Chikwekwe facing 11 counts of unlawful entry. The prosecutor Mr Peter Kachirika, opposed bail and Mr Chikwekwe remanded him in custody to tomorrow for bail application.
Magaya is being represented by Mr Lucky Mauwa of Mauwa and Associates. It is the State’s case that the offences were committed between October 2015 and June this year. Magaya of Block 22, Mufakose, Harare reportedly scaled over precast walls of the complainants’ houses before using an iron bar to gain entry.
On April 10 Magaya allegedly gained entry into Chivayo’s premises at around 2am and forced open the dining room door. He then got into the house and stole various clothes and several pairs of shoes.
