A former country director at the Adventist Development and Relief Agency Zimbabwe has been hauled before the courts on allegations of theft of trust property.
Judith Musvosvi, 62, of Mt Pleasant Heights, appeared before magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa at the Harare Magistrates’ Courts facing charges of theft of trust property.
She is expected to return to court on July 7, 2025.
The complainant in the matter is ADRA Zimbabwe, represented by Jane Katsande.
Musvosvi, a former employee of ADRA, held the position of country director. Her duties included serving as head of the secretariat, overseeing programmatic and financial operations, ensuring compliance with statutory obligations required for the organisation's licensing, reviewing financial reports for accuracy and presentation to the board, and ensuring the full and accurate implementation of policy.
According to prosecutor Rufaro Chonzi, in July 2024, the complainant received an anonymous tip-off from whistleblowers alleging that Musvosvi, along with Fortune Goredema, had misused organisational funds through the use of falsified documents.
This led the ADRA board to commission a forensic audit, which was conducted by the General Conference Auditing Services (GCAS). The audit revealed that between 2018 and 2024, Musvosvi allegedly embezzled funds as follows:
The total amount allegedly stolen is US$109,093.43.
