A Rainforcing Steel Contractors employee has appeared in court on charges of fraud, forgery, and theft of trust property. Nothando Banana, aged 35, of Barham Green, denied the charges when she appeared before Bulawayo Regional Magistrate Dambudzo Malunga.
Banana was represented by Bob Siansole of Shenje and Company, who entered a plea of not guilty on her behalf. The case centers around allegations that Banana forged documents in order to unlawfully steal company funds.
