TWO men who terrorised Redcliff residents in a two-day spree of robbery and rape have been arrested in Bulawayo after a dramatic police chase.
Mpandawana Masango (43) and Thandazani Moyo, alias Faa, were tracked down by detectives from CID Kwekwe after Masango was caught using a stolen cellphone.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police confirms the arrest of Mpandawana Masango and Thandazani Moyo in connection with rape and armed robbery cases which occurred in Redcliff, Kwekwe on 2 and 3 September 2025,” national police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said in a statement.
Masango was arrested in Nkulumane 5, where police recovered two stolen phones. He then snitched on his accomplice, leading to Moyo’s arrest in Bulawayo’s Western area. Police also recovered their getaway car, a Honda Fit with registration number ADU 9899.
The pair is linked to seven violent robberies, including one on 2 September at a house in Musgrave, Redcliff, where they stole US$751, R400 and a cellphone.
In another attack on 3 September, one of the suspects raped a woman before making off with her cash and phone.
Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities. “The ZRP will continue to account for all criminals involved in violent crimes,” the statement read.
