A 40-year-old Beitbridge man and his 19-year-old son have been sentenced to six months in prison by a magistrate in the border town for removing the carcasses of two impala reportedly killed by a third suspect in former Vice President Kembo Mohadi’s farm.
Beitbridge resident magistrate Takudzwa Gwazemba handed down the sentence on Mgcini Ndlovu and his son, Talent last Thursday.
The two were charged with contravening the Parks and Wildlife Act Chapter 20:14 which prohibits the removal of any animal from any land.
Prosecuting, Ronald Mugwagwa said on January, 30, 2023 at Kembo Mohadi Farm, Mgcini and his son who reside at Shonisani Village at Makhado under Chief Sitaudze removed two impala carcasses valued US$2 000 from the farm without a permit.
They were reportedly in the company of Honest Ndlovu, who had hunted the impalas when they went to collect the carcasses.
Honest is still at large.
Members of the Zimbabwe National Army deployed at the farm saw torches in the farm and waited for dawn to investigate. In the morning, they picked spoor of the suspects, and they tracked them to Mgcini’s residence where they recovered the carcasses from his kitchen and arrested the two.
