Armshell Tagwida, the 27-year-old branch manager of OK Zimbabwe in Chegutu, has appeared in Bindura Magistrate Court facing charges of fraud. Tagwida is accused of stealing over ZWL 500,000 from his employer through a swipe card scam.
According to the prosecution, Tagwida illegally credited money into four corporate Shop Easy debit cards between January and August of this year. The total amount credited, ZWL 524,318.50, was done without proper deposit records, using the password of Moline Nyagomo.
The prosecution claims Tagwida then used these funds to purchase groceries worth ZWL 525,173.25 at the OK Zimbabwe Bindura branch. Takundanashe Nhemwa, a till supervisor who is currently missing, was identified as the person using the debit cards through CCTV footage.
The fraud was discovered during a financial audit. When Tagwida was arrested, detectives found US$782 and groceries worth ZWL 44,009.28 at his home. The investigation is still ongoing, and authorities are searching for Nhemwa.
