Mkoba Teachers College Shut Down as Cholera Spreads
ZIMBABWE Miners Federation president and convicted gold smuggler Henrietta Rushwaya, who was recently convicted of trying to smuggle 6kg of gold worth more than US$333 000 to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, was sentenced at the High Court yesterday.
Rushwaya was heading to Dubai when she was arrested for attempting to smuggle 6kg gold through the VIP route at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport on October 26, 2020.
Four bars of pure gold were found in her hand luggage.
Rushwaya denied the charge, claiming she mistakenly picked up the wrong bag at home, one containing gold bars rather than the one she meant to take on her trip.
Justice Pisirayi Kwenda found her guilty, dismissing her defence of a “wrong bag” as implausible.Rushwaya was charged along with two Central Intelligence Organisation operatives Stephen Tserai and Raphios Mufandauya.
Rushwaya denied the charge when her trial began last month at the Anti-Corruption Court in the High Court.
The court yesterday held a pre-sentencing hearing in terms of the new sentencing guidelines.
