A man who allegedly defrauded ZWL$29 250 after claiming that he needed the money for groceries and would return it as US$15 000 has appeared in court.
Kumbirai Isaac Siduna, 26, of Mount Pleasant Heights appeared before the Harare Magistrates ' Courts charged with fraud.
The complainant is Dudzai Mabhiza who is the director of Mabhiza Transport Private Limited.
The State alleges that on April 26, 2023, Siduna contacted Mabhiza and said that he needed RTGS$29 250 000 in order to buy some goods at TM Pick N Pay Supermarket and in turn he would give Mabhiza US$15 000.
On the same day Mabhiza allegedly transferred RTGS$29 250 000 from his CBZ account into the TM Pick N Pay bank account.
It is alleged that on April 27, 2023, Mabhiza made follow ups of his US$15 000 from Siduna who told Mabhiza to meet him at Holiday Inn but never showed up there.
On April 28, 2023, Mabhiza tried to contact Siduna on several times but could not get through.
Mabhiza finally made a police report leading to Siduna’s arrest.
Siduna was remanded out of custody to November 24.
