A BINDURA University Science Education (BUSE) Computer
Science student who is now in his final year has appeared in court for stealing
a laptop from his former employer.
Tinotenda Mazhakata
, 23, who was attached at the Minerals Marketing Cooperation of Zimbabwe (MMCZ)
was convicted on his own plea when he appeared before Harare magistrate Solomon
Muchina charged with theft.
He was slapped with a six months wholly suspended sentence
on condition he does not commit a similar offence in the next five years.
The State, led by Benjamin Chikerema, proved that on August
19 this year at around 11pm at No. 90 Mutare Road Msasa, Mazhakata took a Dell
laptop at the MMCZ when he was instructed to surrender it to the ICT office.
The State went on to prove that Mazhakata was given the
laptop by one of the staff members to hand it over to the ICT office but
decided to keep it till the end of his industrial attachment.
Investigations were made and the CCTV also proved that it
was Mazhakata who had took the laptop.
Mazhakata was then arrested and the Dell laptop that worth
$4500 was recovered. H Metro
