Ncube faced
charges of forgery and fraud.
She appeared
before Harare magistrate Mrs Rufaro Panavanhu yesterday, and was acquitted of
forgery charges but found guilty of fraud.
In her ruling,
the magistrate stated that prosecutor Mr Boniface Masvaire successfully
established a prima facie case against Ncube.
The State
demonstrated that on July 14, 2023, the complainant, Mr Phillip Chipfumbu,
filed a case against Zimura at the High Court, under case number HCHC482/23.
The application
sought a forensic audit of the institution.
On July 20,
2023, the complainant visited the High Court and discovered that Ncube had
submitted a forged CR6 document for Zimura, dated April 12, 2023, which was not
registered with the Department of Deeds, Companies and Intellectual Property.
The CR6 for the
Zimbabwe Music Rights Association was ultimately registered with the Department
on January 15, last year, well after the complainant had already filed a police
report. Herald
