Supreme Court Hears Tapiwa Makore Murder Case Appeal

The Supreme Court of Zimbabwe has heard the appeal of Tafadzwa Shamba and Gweru Makore, who were convicted of the ritual murder of 7-year-old Tapiwa Makore in 2020.
The High Court had initially sentenced both men to death after finding them guilty of murdering the young boy for ritual purposes to enhance Gweru Makore’s cabbage business. However, before the Supreme Court could confirm the death sentence, the Death Penalty Abolition Act [Chapter 9:26] came into effect, preventing its confirmation.
During the Supreme Court session, appeal arguments were presented, and the court has reserved judgment. A ruling on whether the conviction stands and what the new sentence will be will follow in due course.
