HARARE – A 34-year-old man faces murder after he allegedly plunged his colleague into a Mazowe mine shaft following an argument over US$10.

Police confirmed they have arrested Rynos Makwembere, the suspect in a case of murder which occurred on 20 January 2025 at SOS Claim, Jumbo Mine.

“The victim, Claude Nyamatope, 37, fell into a disused mine shaft and died on the spot after being pushed by the suspect following a misunderstanding over US$10,” police posted Tuesday on X.
