Citizen Coalition for Change (CCC) councillor for Ward 15, Mphoengs, Sydney Ngwenya is in trouble after he allegedly stole $700 from his ward campfire committee account.
The 55-year-old councillor was dragged to Plumtree magistrates' courts yesterday.
He appeared before Magistrate Joshua Nembaware, who granted him $50 bail.
The state led by Selestine Madziwa alleged that sometime in 2023, Campfire Mangwe Rural District Council opened a ZB bank account and the councillor put as one of the signatories.
On March 26 last year, the councillor and one signatory, Benjamin Ncube withdrew $700 instead of $84 for travelling expenses.
On May 3, Bernard Moyo confronted the councillor on why he withdrew a larger sum of money than expected, and he said he had loaned himself.
A police report was filed, leading to the arrest of the councillor.
