DARING thieves stole 10 state-of-the-art computers worth millions recently donated by President Robert Mugabe to Mavhudzi Secondary School in Nyazura, Manicaland.

Police in Nyazura confirmed the theft, saying investigations were underway.

Two more computers belonging to the same school were also stolen when the thieves pounced on the school on November 11, a fortnight after the President’s donation.

President Mugabe, as part of his nationwide programme to equip rural high schools with information technology, donated the computers worth more than $40 million to the school on October 28.

A school employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity, also confirmed the theft.

Nyazura police officer-in-charge (crime), Assistant Inspector Muguro, said investigations into the thefts were in progress.

At first, Muguro referred this
reporter to the school head, but after being pressed to either substantiate or deny the allegations, Muguro confirmed the theft, saying: “The computers were stolen and we are investigating the matter.”

He refused to give further details and referred further questions to the Police General Headquarters in Harare. Police spokesperson, Oliver Mandipaka last week said he was yet to get a report on the matter.

Contacted again on Sunday, Mandipaka maintained he still had not received the report.

“I tried to look for that information, but there is nothing like that,” Mandipaka said.

“I’ll continue trying looking for the information.”

Efforts to get the latest developments on the issue from Muguro proved fruitless yesterday as his home telephone number given to this newspaper by his colleagues went unanswered and remained so until the time of going to print.
