A 33 year old man who was being charged with five counts of illegally transferring money from the MBCA bank ‘s client account to another person has been placed off remand as the state was not yet ready to prosecute the matter.

Mathew Kamanga was not asked to plead to fraud when he appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Manasa Musiwa who ruled that further remand was being refused as the state was still not ready to prosecute him.

Kamanga was alleged to have on October 27 this year gone to MBCA bank along Plumtree Road where he alleged that he was Jameson Moyo and sought transfer of $450 from Moyo's account to Polite Matimba's account.

On the next day he visited the bank again seeking to transfer $300 from Jameson Moyo's account to the same person. On October 29 he again went to the same bank seeking to transfer another $300 into Polite Matimba's account.

He went to the same bank on November one seeking to transfer $170 from Jameson Moyo's account to Polite Matimba's account.  Lastly he went to the same bank on November 5 seeking to transfer $100 to Polite Matimba's account from Jameson Moyo's account. Moyo noticed that the money in his account had been withdrawn and reported to the police. Investigations done led to Kamanga's arrest.
