This was heard by Bulawayo magistrate Sithembiso Ncube when Maxwell Busani Mpofu (43) of Emganwini appeared before her charged with fraud and forgery.
He was not asked to plead to the charge and was remanded to a further date for trial.
The court heard that complainant in the matter is sergeant Maphosa (43) of Hillside Police Station and on August 2014 Mpofu connived with a prominent city lawyer who has since been De-registereed Mlamuli Ncube who is currently at large to sell a house in Burnside.
They took photographs of of Mpofu.
Mpofu then forged a plastic national identity card in the name of Ezekial Moyo and inserted his own picture. During 2015 in February Mpofu was arrested and the fake Id was recovered from him.
Investigations revealed that the national ID does not exist though the iD numbers belonged to Malack Manheru Moyo and the names used were fictitiously Ezekial Moyo.
