A mine worker in Hwange got five years for stealing power cables from his job. Admire Shoko, who is twenty, admitted to the crime in front of Magistrate Rumbi Kabasa Bonzo. He took copper cables from the Zhongxian Chabha mine, where he worked, hiding them in his bag during a security check.
The cables were worth forty bucks. He had no permit to take them. The court ordered the property returned to the mining company. Despite his plea for a lighter sentence, the magistrate said these crimes threaten infrastructure and safety, especially at mines.
