Ingwebu Breweries manager hangs self

A MANAGER at Ingwebu Breweries in Bulawayo is reported to have hanged himself on Tuesday the same day his subordinates appeared in court facing charges of stealing fuel worth more than $200 000.

An Ingwebu insider said Dumisani Ncube from Cowdray Park left home and was found hanging from a tree at a bush in Pumula South yesterday morning.

Mourners are gathered at his residence in Cowdray Park. According to the source, Ncube's subordinates only identified as Xolani, Rest and Beke were arrested in connection with the alleged fraud and theft. They appeared in court on Tuesday where they were each granted $200 bail.

Following their arrest, the three had allegedly implicated their supervisor as the brains behind the scam backdated to 2009 which saw them prejudicing Ingwebu of fuel worth over $200 000. Police said they had not yet received the report.
