A Dairibord Zimbabwe cashier accused of misappropriating more than $179,000 has received bail set at $300 following detention at remand facilities. Helen Murenha must surrender travel documents and return for proceedings as investigators continue examining financial records at the dairy products company.
Internal auditors discovered discrepancies after accountant Evermore Chanetsa identified irregular transactions during reconciliation procedures. Senior auditor Tawanda Chinembiri conducted an unscheduled inspection that revealed a deficit exceeding $54,000 despite recovering $18,000 from the employee. Murenha acknowledged providing unauthorized advances to commercial clients, including Kavhura Investments, Sigaka Gaza Cera Investments and Definitive Investments, with authorities retrieving approximately $35,000 from those entities.
Subsequent review uncovered an additional $125,000 allegedly diverted from Victor Farm Private Limited through falsified documentation. Harare regional magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa scheduled the matter for continuation as prosecutors seek to recover outstanding funds.
