Paul Enest Mzenge Zhou got nailed as the head guy of a cross-border robbery crew that tried hitting multiple targets in Harare and Kwekwe with his South African buddies Ndiafhi Makhado, Andrew Reabetore Masubelele, Emmanuel Makam, and two other gang members who are dead. The National Prosecuting Authority said Zhou and his team rolled around in a Gold Toyota Fortuner and a Black Toyota Surf planning heists, but cops were waiting when they showed up at some businessman's place in Mt Pleasant, and the whole thing fell apart.
Detectives tracked the gang to a guest house in Arcadia, where everything went sideways with a shootout. Police grabbed one guy after he got shot, and another dude opened fire near Morgan High School before getting taken down. Authorities recovered two 9mm pistols, a bunch of ammunition, and three vehicles from the scene.
Zhou ended up with 12 years behind bars, though four got suspended, so he will actually serve eight years in prison for the whole operation.
