Two men, aged 33 and 32, are expected to appear in court for an armed robbery at Phungashe Post Office.
On January 12 this year, three men entered the Post Office and held up staff members at gunpoint.
They forced the manager to open the safe and they stole an undisclosed amount of cash.
They further robbed employees of two cellphones and fled the scene in their getaway vehicle.
