Tafadzwa Chirisa appeared before Harare magistrate Dennis
Mangosi charged with theft of trust property.
The complainant is Alice Mutambara, who is the founder and
chairperson of Zimbabwe Widows for Economic Development.
The court heard that on June 26, Mutambara was in the
company of her organisation’s secretary, Grace Mhaka, when she met Chirisa in
the capital.
Mutambara had US$4000 in cash, which they intended to use
in mobilisation programmes, across the country.
Chirisa allegedly then told Mutambara he was the one who
kept money for affiliations, in an office, which belonged to one Dr Gomo, and
would release the money when required.
Mutambara then gave Chirisa the US$4000 for sake keeping .
On June 28, Mutambara approached Chirisa requesting for the
money because she wanted to print some Tshirts.
However, he failed to return the money because he had
already spent it.
Conducting her own investigation, Mutambara approached Dr
Gomo and was told that Chirisa had no access to his office as claimed.
This prompted her to file a police report. H Metro
