charges when he appeared before Harare magistrate Mr Dennis Mangosi.
He was remanded in custody to tomorrow for bail ruling. The court heard that during the period
extending from August to September 1 accused visited Parirenyatwa Group of
Hospitals and Avenues Clinic to seek medical attention for his headache

misrepresented facts to the hospital staff by supplying false information
regarding his names.

several occasions that he was Marlon Katiyo, Tendai Marara, General Chiwenga
and Dominic Chiwenga to avoid detection when fraudulently acquiring medical
services.

avoid being detected when his payments to the hospital are due. Herald
