A man from Tshabalala who was entrusted to receive the terminal benefits of a security guard through a law firm is in trouble after he received the money and diverted part of it into his own use.
Aaron Mankolo was not asked to plead to fraud when he appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Tinashe Tashaya. He was remanded to May 29 for trial.
The court heard that the complainant in the matter is Paul Mudimba of Airdrome Victoria Falls who was sometime employed by Guardian Security. In April 6 2016 his employer terminated his contract at the time when it owed him varying sums of money. In October 2016 an order was granted by the Labour Court that the company pay him $5000.
The company deposited $5000 into Dube Mguni and Partners as per accused's instruction. On August 18 Mankolo received $4550 from Dube-Mguni and partners CBZ Trust account instead of distributing the funds to the owner he converted it to own use.
The owner discovered the anomaly and made a report to the police leading to Mankolo's arrest.
