Chikumbutso Was Implicated in an Armed Robbery Case
Self-proclaimed inventor and entrepreneur Maxwell Sangulani Chikumbutso was once a guest at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison.
Chikumbutso was paraded before Emmerson Mnangagwa at State House on Tuesday.
He was showcasing his alleged latest inventions, including what he claimed to be the world’s first self-powering vehicles and motorbikes that run on radio waves.
It has since emerged that Chikumbutso was arrested in 2018 on six counts of armed robbery alongside five accomplices.
In his bail application, when he was being represented by Admire Rubaya that year, Chikumbutso denied involvement in any of the offences.
He told Justice Roger Manyangadze Foroma that he was operating a successful company pioneering new technology and inventions.

He also claimed that he was famous for good work and had substantial assets in Zimbabwe.
Justice Foroma said although Chikumbutso claimed that he had substantial assets comprising movable and immovable property, he had failed to provide a single title deed as an exhibit in court.
“He further argued that he is operating a successful company pioneering new technology and inventions and is famous for the good work he is involved in and that he has substantial assets in Zimbabwe, including immovable properties, yet not a single deed of transfer was produced or referred to as proof,” Justice Foroma said in his ruling.
The State opposed bail saying among the firearms that were recovered by the police, one belonged to Chikumbutso.

The firearm recovered from Chikumbutso was unlicensed and was found in the vehicle of a co-accused who claimed he had given him a lift and he allegedly forgot it.
