Former prosecutor Bhekimpilo Moyo faces five years behind bars after pocketing $200 from someone seeking court favors. The 35-year-old worked at Bulawayo's Tredgold Magistrates Court before his downfall. Two years of his sentence were suspended, leaving him with three years to serve. Betty House paid him to help her brother Bothwell dodge charges for property damage. Moyo saw easy money and took it.

The greedy prosecutor asked Betty House for even more cash later. He demanded another $250 from the worried family. Betty House smelled trouble and called the police about the crooked deal. Officers arrested Moyo on July 10, 2024, after checking out her story. His conviction warns other court workers about playing dirty games.

Zimbabwe's National Prosecuting Authority slammed corruption after hearing about the sentence. The group runs a tight ship and punishes workers who break rules. They want citizens to speak up when court staff ask for illegal payments. Lawyers think this case will scare other public workers away from crime. The decision proves Zimbabwe fights hard against dirty officials.
