Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 27902, member: 2262"] A Harare court heard charges against Rocky-Thomas Nlosikhona Mkhethiwa, who allegedly stole $112,000 from his workplace. The court accused him of two separate fraud counts. Magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa granted him bail at $1,000 and scheduled his next appearance for April 24. The first complaint came from Evolution Group Limited through managing director January Norman. Court papers showed Mkhethiwa worked as the cashier and payments officer with full access to company bank accounts. From December 1, 2024, through January 15, 2025, he reportedly sent $112,000 to various businesses, pretending these transfers had management approval. Prosecutors claimed that after each money transfer, Mkhethiwa personally picked up merchandise or money from these companies. Evolution Group discovered his scheme during a surprise financial check and reported him to the police. The company lost the entire $112,000, with zero dollars recovered. Mkhethiwa faces additional charges from Stayned Investments Private Limited. Prosecutor Lancelot Mutsokoti described how Mkhethiwa approached them on December 30, 2024, claiming he needed cash against a transfer in his company account. He visited their office that same day and walked away with $42,000 cash. Their agreement stated Mkhethiwa would transfer those funds to Delta Beverages so Stayned could collect products after payment cleared. Instead, Mkhethiwa created fake payment proof showing $8,000 sent to Delta. Stayned staff went to Delta Beverages with this documentation but learned no money arrived. Stayned repeatedly tried to contact Mkhethiwa about the missing payment, but he avoided all communication attempts. Between both fraud cases, victims lost a combined $154,000. Police recovered nothing from these alleged thefts before bringing charges against him. [/QUOTE]
