Two former employees of TX Money Transfer in Bulawayo appeared in court this week facing charges of fraud involving US$33,000.
Mandiedza Kuzvidza (46), a former branch manager, and Duduzile Ncube (37), a former customer service officer, were remanded in custody to October 28 by Bulawayo Regional Magistrate Collet Ncube.
According to court documents, on September 8, Ncube contacted Munetsi Dakwa, a representative of Cool Brands Bulawayo, an account holder with TX Money Transfer, allegedly inquiring whether the company had cash to deposit. She reportedly claimed that the branch had run out of funds for customers.
Dakwa informed them that he had US$33,000 available. Kuzvidza and Ncube allegedly collected the cash and assured Dakwa that the deposit slip would be ready by Monday, September 9, 2024.
However, the pair allegedly failed to deposit the money into Cool Brands' account and instead issued a fraudulent deposit slip. The incident was reported to police, prompting the arrest of Kuzvidza and Ncube.
The case continues under investigation, with authorities examining the circumstances surrounding the alleged misappropriation.
