Some thieves in Chitungwiza showed how merciless they are when they robbed Bumhudzo Old Peoples home in Chitungwiza of 75 chickens that were being reared there.

“They removed the panels of the security wall and entered into this yard and made away with the birds,” said the caregiver.

She said that the security guard who was on duty on the day saw the thieves but could not do anything to them as he was scared.

“The chickens were part of the projects that we have here in order to have some extra revenue for the old people’s home and some people out there have the nerve to come and rob us of these birds,” she said.

How they got away with the birds she could not say but it is said they came with some carts and made away into the dark of the night with the chickens. The guard who was on duty that day was not at the premises when we got there as we wanted to have his side of what transpired. Bumhudzo is owned and mostly sponsored by the Salvation Army and is situated on the outskirts of St Mary’s a notorious neighbourhood in Chitungwiza. Many dwellers of the high density suburb are unemployed and are much into robbing people at night or breaking into houses.

The Zimbabwe Gazette failed to ascertain whether this incident was reported to the police by time of going to press.
