Magistrate Zuyu said there was enough evidence to prove that the accused Taurai Mujatiwa, 33, was guilty.
Mujatiwa was found guilty on three counts of armed robbery after he stole property worth $63 000 and US$820 and R70 200.
Reports indicate that of the 33-year-long jail term, two years were set aside provided he paid back US$125 for count one, R58 720, and US$788 for count two before May 27, 2021.
The State led by Noel Muranda proved that on March 05 this year, Mujatiwa in the company of Collins Chauke, who is still at large, approached Calisto Jairos Mapikire, who is a taxi driver at N. Richards Wholesalers in Chiredzi asking for his services to Hippo Valley Section 27.
