Authorities recovered $3,775 of the stolen funds from the accused persons following their arrest. The manager named his attackers which led to the subsequent arrest.

Police Statement on the Motive

Harare Provincial Police Spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza provided details of the investigation:

“The suspects, all former employees, confronted the victim demanding payment of alleged salary arrears. When directed to contact their previous Chinese manager now based in Botswana, they became aggressive. The situation escalated into physical violence and theft of $10,000 cash from the complainant’s possession.”

Inspector Chakanza confirmed that investigative procedures remain ongoing as officers work to establish all the circumstances surrounding the case.

Workplace Conflict Turns Criminal

This incident highlights the potential dangers of unresolved employment disputes escalating into violence. Legal experts emphasise that while workers have legitimate avenues to pursue unpaid wages, taking matters into one’s own hands through criminal acts leads to serious consequences.

The accused individuals now face robbery charges in addition to potential assault charges as the judicial process moves forward.
