Gladstone Mthulisi Tshabalala, Dalumuzi Masotsha Moyo and
Manase Manjovha yesterday appeared before Harare magistrate, Ms Patricia
Kamwanda, facing charges of fraud. They were advised to return to court today
for possible trial date allocation.
The complainant is Real Star Security Company, represented
by Mr Cephas Ngorima.
Prosecution alleged that the trio hacked into the
complainant’s mobile banking credentials on September 2 and attempted to
replace the Sim card linked to EcoCash at Econet Wireless Zimbabwe.
The court heard that the accused persons approached an
Econet agent, Taurai Mushamba, on September 12, requesting to replace the
complainant’s Econet line.
However, Mushamba became suspicious and alerted the
complainant and the police, leading to the arrest of the three accused persons
in Norton.
The alleged identity card used in the attempted fraud was
recovered from the Econet agent. The trio intended to transfer money from the
complainant’s Nedbank account, which holds US$190 000.
