S.A bound bus robbed at gunpoint

TWENTY-SEVEN passengers aboard an MB Transport bus heading for Beitbridge were early yesterday robbed of money and valuables worth thousands of dollars by three gunmen, some 20 kilometres before the border town. The incident occurred soon after the Lutumba tollgate along the Beitbridge-Masvingo highway. The bus was reportedly travelling from Harare with 33 people on board including the bus crew and the three suspects. MB Transport proprietor Brian Mungofa confirmed the incident yesterday: “The robbers boarded the bus in Harare on Friday along with other 27 passengers at the Mbudzi traffic circle”.– Sunday News
