TWO inmates, Feliciano Simango aka Fidelis Jorum Mauyangwe and Never Matoma, are being hunted after escaping from prison.<\/p>\n
The duo escaped yesterday from Mutimurefu Prison in Masvingo.<\/p>\n
In a statement, Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Meya Khanyezi said the incident took place during a supervised work assignment outside the prison facility.

“However, their use of the vehicle was short-lived, as it was involved in an accident approximately 2.5 km from the site, rendering it inoperable.
