The Alleged Kidnapping Incident
On January 18, at approximately 1 pm, Honde picked up 25 learners from the school in a white Nissan Caravan minibus. Instead of taking them home to Kuwadzana Extension and nearby areas as agreed, he drove east along the Harare-Mutare Road without the consent of the children or their parents.
Reaching the 103km mark in Macheke, the vehicle ran out of fuel, forcing Honde to park it. A concerned passer-by noticed the presence of distressed children and suspected foul play. The individual promptly informed the local police in Macheke.
