Two former employees of TX Money Transfer in Bulawayo have appeared in court facing charges of fraud involving US$33,000.
Mandiedza Kuzvidza (46), a former branch manager and Duduzile Ncube (37), a former customer service officer, appeared before Bulawayo regional magistrate Collet Ncube. Kuzvidza and Ncube were remanded in custody to October 28. The court heard that on September 8, Ncube contacted Munetsi Dakwa, a representative of Cool Brands Bulawayo, an account holder with TX Money Transfer.
Ncube allegedly asked if Dakwa had any cash to deposit, claiming that the company had run out of money to give customers.
Dakwa allegedly informed them that he had US$33 000. Kuzvidza and Ncube went to collect the cash.
They allegedly assured Dakwa that the deposit slip would be ready the following Monday, September 9, 2024. However, they allegedly failed to deposit the money into Cool Brands’ account and instead issued a fraudulent deposit slip.
A police report was made, leading to their arrest.
