Ruwa Businesswoman LOSES US$150,000 Hidden in Bedroom WardrobeI

RUWA — Businesswoman Farai Mavhiya (55) reportedly lost a staggering US$150,000 in cash after money she had kept inside a trunk hidden in her bedroom wardrobe disappeared while she was away on business.

According to H-Metro, Mavhiya travelled to Chegutu on Saturday, leaving her maid, Josephine Mboneka (33), at the house. The maid had reportedly been employed at the property for only three weeks.

Mavhiya returned home on Sunday evening but only checked the trunk on Monday, when she discovered that the US$150,000 was GONE.

Police reportedly found no signs of forced entry and suspect that duplicate keys may have been used to gain access to both the bedroom and the trunk.

The garden worker was reportedly off duty that weekend, while one of Mavhiya's children also visited the property during her absence. Police are investigating and, based on the information provided, no one should yet be treated as responsible for the theft unless police establish their involvement.

Authorities have also warned members of the public against keeping such large amounts of cash at homes or business premises.

Best Term Life Insurance Policies for Families

Term life insurance is one of the simplest ways to protect your  family financially if something unexpected happens. It provides coverage for a set period, which makes it a practical choice for  families who want affordable protection during the years they need it most.

rnMany families choose term life because it can offer a large amount of coverage at a lower monthly cost than permanent life insurance. That is especially useful if you are paying a mortgage, raising children, or trying to replace income for a spouse or partner. The main goal is to make sure your family would have enough support if you were no longer there.
rnWhen comparing policies, focus on coverage amount, term length, and insurer reliability. A policy should be large enough to cover living expenses, debts, childcare, and future costs such as college or mortgage payments. The right term length usually matches your biggest financial responsibilities.
rnIt is also smart to compare riders and policy features. Some policies offer options like accelerated death benefits or conversion privileges, which can add flexibility later. Even though these extras may not matter right away, they can become important as your family’s needs change.
rnHealth and age play a major role in pricing. In many cases, younger and healthier applicants get lower premiums. That is why it often makes sense to buy coverage before health issues appear or before your family’s financial needs increase.
rnA good term life policy should be easy to understand and simple to maintain. You want a plan that gives your family peace of mind without forcing you into complicated features you do not need. For most families, clarity and affordability matter more than anything else.
rnIf you are comparing policies for the first time, think about what your family would need if your income stopped tomorrow. That question can help you choose the right coverage amount and avoid buying too little protection.
rnThe best term life insurance policy is the one that fits your budget today while protecting your family’s future.
