An area manager with Farm & City Private Limited appeared in court last Friday facing theft charges after allegedly diverting company funds to betting.
Justine Ngoshi (39) was brought before Harare provincial magistrate Michael Mafukidze and remanded in custody pending a full bail hearing.
According to the State, between July 31 last year and February 28 this year, Ngoshi allegedly collected US$10 200 intended for rental payments for the Belgravia branch of Farm & City.
The funds were meant to be remitted to Sawyer and Mkushi Legal Practitioners.
However, prosecutors allege that Ngoshi diverted the money for personal use, reportedly spending it on betting, specifically the Aviator game.
The total amount allegedly embezzled is US$10 200, and authorities say nothing has been recovered.
Ngoshi remains in custody as the matter proceeds through the courts.
