Rushwaya’s driver survives jail term, slapped with a R40k fine for concealing 23 gold bars in a box of whiskey

Kempton Park- ZIMBABWE Mining Federation president Henrietta Rushwaya’s former driver Tashinga Nyasha Masinire who was arrested by members of the Hawks’ serious organised crime investigation unit, with the assistance of customs officials, after he landed at OR Tambo airport in May 2021 with 23 gold bars concealed in a whiskey box has been slapped with a R40 000 fine or two years in prison.

According to Hawks Gauteng spokesperson Capt Lloyd Ramovha, Masinire’s arrest came after he was subjected to a random search which uncovered the loot.

“He … consequently appeared in the Kempton Park magistrate’s court where he was granted R100,000 bail. During the Hawks’ follow-up investigation, it emerged that Masinire submitted representations with fabricated information in a bid to have the case withdrawn.

“After he realised that the case presented by investigators had no loopholes, he elected to plead guilty on February 23.”

Ramovha said his bail was revoked and on Monday the court convicted Masinire for contravening the Customs and Excise Act.

The gold bars have been forfeited to the state.
