Prosecutor Ms Mercy Nyathi told the court that on 28 July, Lunga and other inmates were assigned to collect firewood at Mapane Prison Farm. “They were left unattended and the accused took advantage and escaped,” she said.

However, Lunga’s freedom was short-lived.

Prison officers tracked him down at a location known as Dry Paddock in his rural home area of Kezi and promptly returned him to Gwanda Prison.

The incident serves as a reminder of the vigilance of prison authorities and the risks faced by inmates attempting to flee lawful custody.
