Newman Dube pleaded not guilty to the fraud charge when he
appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Nomagugu Maphosa.
He was remanded out of custody to 6 May.
Allegations against Dube are that on an unknown date and
month, but sometime in 2016 he sold stand number 82 in Zimbili area, Fort Rixon
to Mkosi Headman Sigundu.
It is alleged that he mispresented himself to Sigundu that
he was the owner of the stand before Sigundu paid him US$2 100.
It later emerged that the stand was not belonging to Dube
but to one of his siblings. Realising that he had been duped, Sigundu reported
the matter to the police leading to Dube’s arrest.
In his defence, Dube argued that the stand was given to him
by his parents and he pleaded with the court to bring his two sisters as
witnesses to corroborate his claims. B Metro
