A dramatic turn of events unfolded in the Harare Magistrates Court as four men stood trial on Wednesday for allegedly stealing a staggering US$74,600 from Alpha Omega Farm in Marondera, owned by the in-laws of infamous businessman Wicknell Chivayo.

According to reports, the stolen money was part of the lobola (bride price) payment for Chivayo’s wife, Lulu. The suspects, Tawanda Mushawatu (45), Garikayi Shangwa (43), Temptation Gerald Dindidza (44), and Arnold Tafireyi (38), are accused of being key players in the daring heist.

The case has garnered significant attention due to Chivayo’s high-profile status as a Zanu PF tenderpreneur. Chivayo has been embroiled in several controversies in the past, including allegations of corruption and misappropriation of funds.
