He said they were driven to Greendale, where they were blindfolded, and had their hands and legs tied. Said Dinyero:
The incident happened around 7.40 PM on Wednesday night.
I boarded a kombi that was going to Domboshava and, to our surprise, it took a quick off-route turn and exited the CBD from Robert Mugabe Road.
We were blindfolded and had our hands and legs tied.
We were stripped naked and all our belongings were taken.
I lost my money. I had US$40 dollars in my wallet and my phones.
One of the guys we had, who had hoarded groceries, lost more than US$250 in terms of the cost of his goods, and some money.
We were then dropped in Greendale and we had to seek assistance.
Besides losing my valuables I am now okay and safely back home.
Dinyero is still active on Harare’s social football scene where he plays regularly for his teams – Tendo Electrical and City Social.
