Carlos Ncube, a 26-year-old resident of Makwika village, Number 3, Hwange, appeared before the Hwange Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday facing two counts of unlawful entry.
On September 20, Ncube allegedly entered a home in the mining town and stole two pots, one containing sadza and the other beans.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), he also broke into a tuckshop that same night, taking Pepsi drinks, Fizzi, and Maheu. Said the NPA:

The following morning, the complainant discovered that her pots were missing and tracked the accused person’s shoe prints which led to his place of residence.
