Maizon Fungawo (45) pleaded not guilty when he appeared
before Bulawayo magistrate Linear Khumalo who remanded him out of custody to
June 13 for trial continuation.
Fungawo is represented by lawyers from Tanaka Law Chambers.
State prosecutor Owen Mugari told the court that on March
31 this year at 1600 hours, Fungawo was on duty at Ntabazinduna training depot
mess when he took delivery of 55kg of chicken cutlets to prepare lunch for
trainers and trainees.
The officer-in-charge at the training depot, inspector
Bernard Chiangwa, instructed Fungawo not to cook all the meat. At 2100 hours on
the same day, Chiangwa saw Fungawo carrying a military green backpack leaving
the camp.
Chiangwa instructed sergeant Sakala Nelson to search his
backpack and it was discovered that it contained chicken cutlets valued at $4
047.
A report was made at Mbembesi Police Station leading to
Fungawo’s arrest.
In his defence outline, Fungawo, who denied the
allegations, said he had been framed. Newsday
