Machete Gangsters Strike Again
A grocery store was robbed by six machete-wielding robbers who left two people with severe stab wounds on Sunday night.
The robbers, who were armed with machetes, knives and a gun, raided a homestead in the Emvalweni area in Mangwe District, Matabeleland South.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the incident. He said:

The two victims were stabbed with a knife and were left with hands and legs tied. The suspects are at large and investigations are in progress.

There has been a lull in cases of robberies involving machete-wielding gangs over the past few weeks after law enforcement agents launched a countrywide blitz against the so-called MaShurugwi gangs.
A resurgence in violent crime is a cause for concern.
