Commuter omnibus conductor sentenced for theft from accident victim

Terence Mavheneke, a 24-year-old commuter omnibus conductor, has been sentenced to one year in prison for stealing a Samsung Note 20 Ultra, valued at $550, from a victim of a fatal accident on Seke Road. The accident, which occurred on August 13, 2024, involved two commuter omnibuses and tragically resulted in the death of Christabella Makwanya.

Mavheneke, who was at the scene assisting, took the victim’s phone during the chaos. The stolen phone was later recovered from individuals in Chitungwiza, who subsequently implicated Mavheneke in the theft.

In a verdict delivered by the Epworth Magistrates Court, Mavheneke was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment, with 5 months of the sentence suspended for 5 years. This means he will serve 7 months in prison. The court’s decision reflects the seriousness of the offense and the need for justice for the victim and her family.
