Stanley Ziyera, 24, of Braeside, has appeared before Harare magistrate Isheunesu Matova on allegations of defrauding US$5,000 from Tamuka Derembwe in a fake currency exchange deal.
The State, represented by prosecutor Rufaro Chonzi, alleges that on December 30, 2024, Ziyera promised Derembwe US$5,000 in cash if he transferred R94,000 into an FNB account he provided.
Acting with his accomplice, Tamai Tsamwise, who remains at large, Ziyera assured Derembwe that the cash was ready and led him to a location where the money was supposedly held.
After the funds were transferred, Ziyera reportedly began making excuses, claiming that Tsamwise needed to verify the transaction. Tsamwise then entered a building and escaped through the back door.
Realizing he had been duped, Derembwe apprehended Ziyera and took him to the police.
Ziyera, represented by lawyer Tanaka Kangira, has been granted US$100 bail. The alleged fraud left Derembwe prejudiced by US$5,000.
