The Herald reports that Zimbabwe’s most wanted robber Conwell Junior Kasambarare who is facing a number of robbery and housebreaking charges, has allegedly escaped to Cape Town.

This comes after CID crack teams were deployed countrywide to track down and arrest all criminals involved in such activities.

Kasambarare, who was part of Musa Taj Abdul’s criminal gang and now suspected of masterminding a spate of armed robberies and housebreaking cases in and around Harare, was released last year on bail.

He together with Leo Mandaza, Godwin Kusikwenyu (34), Musafare Mupanhanga are also alleged to be part of the gang that raided Mashwede Holdings in 2020 and got away with over US$100 000, R42 000, $14 000 worth of fuel coupons, firearms and 20 live rounds of ammunition.
