A Kwekwe Pastor Eddmon Enock Nyaradzi (44) has appeared in court charged with fraud involving $900 which he allegedly defrauded a Chitungwiza woman.
Nyaradzi allegedly defrauded Judith Ngorima.
He appeared before Harare magistrate Vongai Guriro.
It is alleged that in January this year he approached Ngorima under the guise that he was on a church mission to source cash for its church members who wanted to be taken to University of Pretoria for degree studies.
Judith gave him $900 since the pastor had promised to pay her back end of January. Form that time the pastor became unreachable. Judith managed to get hold of him once more and lured Nyaradzi into a face to face meeting by promising to give him another $300.
Nyaradzi failed to give Judith the names of the church members who were beneficiaries of the fund. The woman suspected that she had been defrauded and reported to the police.
Nyaradzi is denying the charge saying he has never received any money from Ngorima.
