A driver and an armed guard delivering cash to Mukuru money transfer agency in Gokwe area allegedly snatched US$306 000 in cash on Wednesday and are now on the run, police report.

National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said the two — Desbro Kadzurunga (23) and Leon Kahoka (35), both from Gokwe town — dumped the special van belonging to their employer, Safeguard Security, their uniforms and a firearm near Gokwe Hotel before they vanished.

Gokwe Safeguard office received US$300 000 and R250 000 from the Kwekwe office to be delivered to various Mukuru branches in Gokwe. Kadzurunga and Kahoka were given an additional US$13 000 and R350 000 and were sent out to do the deliveries with a third guard, not identified by police.

While at N Richards Gokwe Mukuru branch, the two sent their colleague in with part of what they were supposed to deliver.

“They were even under-declaring what they were supposed to deliver at N Richards Mukuru and while their colleague was still signing receipts they pretended to be answering calls on their cellphones. They then went out and drove away with the cash amounting to US$306 000 and over R100 000,” said Asst Comm Nyathi.

“We appeal to members of the public who might have information, which could be of help in tracking down and arresting the suspects, to approach the nearest police station,” he said.

Meanwhile, police close to investigations yesterday said the two left all the company uniforms, guns and bullets including R210 000 in the van. But the US dollars were missing

They said the rands were found in the cash box.

“What is surprising is that they left some of the money in the van, about R210 000,” said the police source.

Safeguard Security company director Mr Nelson Zimunya yesterday declined to comment on the matter.

Debt Consolidation Loans: Pros, Cons, and Rates

Debt consolidation loans allow borrowers to combine multiple debts into one payment. This can be helpful if you have credit card balances, personal loans, or high-interest debt.

Many people use a personal loan for debt to pay off credit cards. Instead of several monthly payments, you make one fixed payment to the lender.

Benefits of Debt Consolidation

Debt consolidation may lower your interest rate, simplify payments, and help you create a clear repayment plan. It may also help improve your credit over time if you make payments on schedule.

Risks to Consider

Consolidation is not a solution if spending habits do not change. If you pay off credit cards and then use them again, you may end up with more debt.

Final Thoughts

Before applying, compare debt consolidation rates, fees, loan terms, and monthly payments. A debt consolidation loan can be useful, but only when part of a responsible financial plan.

Truck Accident Lawyer: Why 18-Wheeler Claims Are More Complicated

Truck accidents are often more serious than regular car crashes. A large commercial truck can weigh many times more than a passenger vehicle, which means the injuries can be life-changing. Victims may suffer broken bones, spinal injuries, brain injuries, internal injuries, burns, or permanent disability.

A truck accident lawyer handles claims involving semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, delivery trucks, tanker trucks, and other commercial vehicles. These cases are complicated because more than one party may be responsible.

The truck driver may be at fault if they were speeding, distracted, tired, impaired, or driving recklessly. But the trucking company may also be responsible if it failed to train the driver, pushed unsafe schedules, ignored maintenance, or hired someone with a dangerous record.

Other possible responsible parties may include the truck owner, cargo loading company, maintenance provider, parts manufacturer, or insurance company. This is why truck accident cases require careful investigation.

Evidence is also different in truck crashes. A lawyer may need to obtain driver logs, black box data, GPS records, inspection reports, maintenance records, delivery schedules, and company safety documents. This evidence can disappear quickly, so acting fast matters.

Insurance companies in truck accident cases often have large legal teams working to reduce payouts. They may try to blame the victim, downplay injuries, or settle before the full damages are known. A truck accident attorney can protect the victim from unfair tactics.

Compensation may include medical bills, lost income, future care, pain and suffering, disability, property damage, and loss of quality of life. In fatal accidents, the family may pursue a wrongful death claim.

If you were injured in a truck accident, do not assume it is a simple insurance claim. These cases involve commercial rules, corporate responsibility, and powerful insurers. An experienced truck accident lawyer can help uncover what happened and fight for fair compensation.
