Authorities are puzzled following two consecutive security breaches at the Borrowdale residence of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s nephew and deputy finance minister, David Kudakwashe Mnangagwa after intruders broke into his home.

The most recent incident occurred on June 25, when an unknown intruder, dubbed the “ghost raider” by police, left behind six bullet casings. Three were found outside Mnangagwa’s main bedroom door, and the other three were discovered on the lawn of the double-storey house on Camel Road, which is under the watch of two police officers, sources revealed to ZimLive.

The initial security breach took place on June 23 around 10 PM. Mnangagwa, who was watching television with his wife, alerted the police officers after hearing strange noises from the ceiling. Despite a thorough search of the house and its surroundings, the officers found nothing unusual.

Later, at approximately 11:50 PM, Mnangagwa asked the officers to inspect the roof. There, they discovered a bag containing some of the deputy minister’s belongings, including damaged documents and two Apple MacBook laptops, as well as a MacBook iPad, all of which appeared to have been intentionally destroyed.

Mnangagwa reported that all the items had been taken from his bedroom. He also informed the officers that his 9mm Beretta pistol, loaded with 15 live cartridges, along with $500 in cash, was missing. In the kitchen, the intruder had taken a loaf of bread from the counter and discarded it on the floor near the door.
