A shocking scandal has unfolded in Victoria Falls after a trusted 23-year-old branch manager allegedly made off with a staggering US$35,390, funds that were intended for deposit into a wholesaler's bank account.
On October 22, 2024, Mthabisi Cecil Ronald Moyo, the branch manager, arrived for work and supposedly received US$35,390 from a cash-in-transit crew, which was meant to be safely deposited into the company's account. However, instead of completing the transaction, Moyo allegedly pocketed the funds and disappeared, leaving his employer in shock.
The disappearance of Moyo, who had been entrusted with the responsibility of handling large sums of money, has raised serious concerns regarding security and trust within the company.
