The money sent to the accused, McDonald Katumba (31) of
Aspindale Park, was for the purchase of trucks and residential stands. He was
also supposed to hand over cars for his friend Nashile Chibanda.
Newsday reports that the court heard that between August 2023 and January 2024,
Katumba was entrusted with three vehicles by Chibanda, a Mazda Demio and two
Nissan Note. Chibanda reportedly instructed Katumba to hand over the vehicles
to the CEO of a non-governmental organisation who wanted to buy them and
Katumba reportedly became evasive and failed to hand over the vehicles as
instructed. On the third count, Katumba is being accused of converting to
personal use US$20 000 given to him by Chibanda to purchase two Toyota Toyoace
trucks.
The court heard that the trucks were supposed to be used by
Zesa Holdings in a contract Chibanda intended to sign. Katumba allegedly
squandered the money and failed to deliver the trucks as per agreement.
