Zimbabwe: No Bail for Copper Cable Thieves

11 February 2013

TWO Harare women, who were found in possession of copper cables worth more than US$28 000, have been denied bail. Their trial date has been set for today. Apolonia Gwatirisa (45) and Danai Dube (48), who are being charged with contravening the Electricity Act and an alternative charge of contravening the Copper Control Act, were arrested in separate incidents.

Magistrate Mr Donald Ndirowei said the two were not suitable for bail. He said that it was risky to grant them bail considering that Dube has a previous conviction.
