apiwa Makore case: State proposes death sentence

Story by Peter Chivhima

THE State has proposed a death sentence for Tafadzwa Shamba and Tapiwa Makore Senior who were convicted for brutally killing sevenyear old Tapiwa Makore Junior in 2020.

This Monday, the duo of Tafadzwa Shamba and Tapiwa Makore Senior was back in court for aggravation and mitigation after the court found them guilty of the gruesome murder of Tapiwa Makore Junior.

In submitting written aggravation of the sentence before High Court judge Justice Munamato Mutevedzi, the State said Shamba and Makore Senior are not remorseful and are unwilling to reveal the whereabouts of Tapiwa Junior’s head and are protecting the traditional healer who ought to have been with them in the dock.

The State also submitted that the manner in which Makore Junior was brutally murdered is in its own category and shows the heinous murder was premeditated.

The state further submitted that the fact that the victim was a young boy who had a bright future and potential to excel in life, only to meet a painful death at the hands of persons he trusted who wanted to enhance their business is more aggravating.

In mitigation, the convicts pleaded for leniency, claiming that they are willing to appease the spirit of the young boy to avoid the wrath of avenging spirits.

The State however, said the courts only operate on facts and evidence, hence the interest of justice demands physical punishment.

This comes after High Court Judge Justice Munamato Mutevedzi found Shamba guilty of murdering the boy, while Makore Senior was convicted of being an accomplice in the murder.

Sentencing of Shamba and Makore Senior is expected this Wednesday.

Cybersecurity Threats Continue Rising as More Businesses Move Online

Cybersecurity has become one of the most important priorities for businesses, governments, and individuals in the digital age. As more organizations rely on online systems, cloud computing, and digital communication, cybercriminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their attacks. Data breaches, ransomware incidents, phishing scams, and identity theft cases are rising worldwide, causing billions of dollars in financial losses each year.

Businesses of all sizes are investing heavily in cybersecurity solutions to protect customer information and maintain operational security. Firewalls, antivirus software, encryption systems, and multi-factor authentication tools are now considered essential for modern organizations. Companies are also training employees to recognize suspicious emails and avoid common online scams.

One of the biggest cybersecurity concerns is ransomware attacks. Hackers often target businesses, hospitals, schools, and government agencies by encrypting sensitive data and demanding payment to restore access. These attacks can disrupt operations for days or even weeks, creating serious financial and reputational damage.

Small businesses are increasingly becoming targets because many lack advanced security systems. Experts recommend regular software updates, secure password management, and cloud backup solutions to reduce cyber risks. Consumers are also encouraged to protect personal information carefully while using online banking, shopping platforms, and social media networks.

Artificial intelligence is now playing a major role in cybersecurity defense systems. AI-powered security tools can monitor network activity, detect unusual behavior, and respond to threats faster than traditional systems. However, cybercriminals are also using advanced technology to develop more complex attacks, creating an ongoing digital security battle.

Governments around the world are introducing stricter data privacy regulations and cybersecurity laws to protect consumers and businesses. Experts believe cybersecurity careers will remain in high demand as digital threats continue evolving across industries globally.
