Big sendoff for Chitungwiza Robber
By Nyasha Kada and Arron Nyamayaro
THE 24-YEAR-OLD armed robber, who was gunned down last Friday in Chitungwiza, was yesterday given a big send-off in his neighbourhood of Highfield. Kelvin Chawana, who was on police wanted list, resided at House No. 6235-242 Street Old Canaan where the funeral took place.



The spectacular send off, similar to that of yet another robber Borris from Mbare who died last year, saw a cav-alcade of cars accompanying his body to Highfield Cem-etery. Some motorists were parked outside with some lads smoking mbanje and playing loud music by Soul Jah Love.


Unlike Borris, who was ferried to the cemetery by vehicles of his close associates, Kelvin's body lay in his coffin in a parlour's hearse. Kelvin, who was in the company of Shyleen Nyamweda, 18, was shot dead last Friday in a shootout in St Mary's, Chitungwiza. This happened after police detectives received information that the wanted armed robbers were at a certain house in Zengeza 5. Police then recovered firearm cartridges from the Kelvin's getaway vehicle. The accused persons were on a ZRP wanted list in connection with five robbery cases which occurred in Avondale, Machipisa and Southerton areas in Harare. HMetro
