Man jailed for stocktheft

A MAN from Chiredzi has been slapped with an effective nine-year imprisonment for stealing a cow belonging to a neighbour in his village.

Misheck Bereredzani was dragged to Chiredzi Magistrates Court after the complainant, on July 4 this year, noticed that one of his cows was missing from the herd as he was leading them back home from grazing lands.

The complainant was then informed on July 18 by a fellow villager that Bereredzani had stolen the cow.
