THREE of the six men who robbed a Zimbabwean bank of US$270,000 last week were South Africans, it has now emerged.
The robbers pounced on a Standard Bank branch in the small farming town of Chegutu last Tuesday, robbing it of the money, and shooting one bank employee.
It was the biggest bank heist in the country's history, and eyewitnesses said the men spoke a foreign language.
The Herald newspaper reported three of the robbers had been identified as South Africans, and the other three Zimbabweans, one of whom lives in South Africa.
Two Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe employees are amongst the robbers.
It said the South Africans were invited to Zimbabwe for a holiday by the Zimbabwean who lives in that country.
So far, police have arrested four suspects in the robbery, and recovered more than US$50,000 of the stolen money and one of the getaway cars used.
