South African police have arrested Marry Mubaiwa’s brother, Sam, on allegations of running a vehicle theft and human trafficking cartel in Pretoria.
Sam, the brother to Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s embattled ex-wife, was arrested over the weekend, after police were tipped off of suspicious activities at a certain house within an estate.
His residence was raided, and police found unregistered vehicles and more than 20 number plates.
A local tabloid is in possession of discussions between the estate residents when the police raid took place.
“Dear residents, the suspect staying in Stand 191 is still at large in the estate,” read one of the messages.
“Stolen vehicles found at 191 plus 20+ number plates.
“Resident of 191 will be refused entry into our estate. Police in charge, drone will search the estate tonight.
“Please keep all doors locked, and lights on.
“Stand 191 was used as a storage/cool off point for stolen vehicles by the resident – Zimbabwe citizen, for some time now.
“The suspect ran away from the police last night, but was arrested this morning.
“We tracked several vehicles that he brought into the estate with his credentials, abusing our security systems.”
The conversation continued:
“It is the same resident that brought a court order against us in July to reinstate his power, at your expense, not abiding by our rules, expecting us all to pay for his consumption of electricity, and water.
“We are opposing his bail and will not let him into our estate again. We want to thank Fidelity for their response and assistance, from the drone, and extra staff to advice given.”
Sam Mubaiwa
Sam was accused of using his credentials to breach security systems.
Police also found children’s textbooks, cricket trophies and several files in the apartment suspected to be a storage house.
Sam has since appeared in a Pretoria magistrates’ court, which granted his further detention by police, who feel the Zimbabwean could be the link to a number of criminal activities, including human trafficking and rape.
The court also heard that Sam was on an outstanding warrant of arrest in Zimbabwe, and a copy of the document will be tendered, for the record.
He has been denied bail and will return to court soon
vehicle theft and human trafficking cartel in Pretoria. Well, well well, why am I not surprised? Anyone connected to constantine chiwenga is bound to be corrupt and engaging in nefarious activities. I though the Pretoria regime would know that. ZANUPF’s deplorable activities should have tipped them off.
