Grace Makozho worked at this money transfer business when she made up pretend accounts to steal cash. She went before a judge named Mr. Donald Ndirowei in Harare on Monday because of these actions. The court kept her locked up until today, when they will decide about letting her pay for release. The prosecutor, Mr. Lancelot Mutsokoti, said she did this bad stuff back in April 2023. Makozho used another worker's login details to sneak into the company's computer system. She sent cash from ACCESS Forex in South Africa to 91 different people in Zimbabwe. Two men named Dickson Gweshe and Shepherd Gweshe helped her but have not been caught. After these people took out the money from ACCESS Forex places in Zimbabwe, they gave it all to Makozho. She drove her car across the border just to pick up this stolen money herself. The court papers say Makozho bought land or houses with the stolen money. She also put some cash into two bank accounts at FNB in South Africa to hide where it came from. The law says this breaks the rules about money laundering. Nobody knew about her tricks until the company checked its books during a normal review. They found out these accounts were completely made up and did not exist for real customers. Police heard where Makozho lived last Sunday at Village Kada in Chief Nyajena area of Chiredzi. When officers arrived at her home, Makozho tried to fool them by saying she was someone else named Millicent Kwangwari. She claimed this Millicent person was just the sister of who they wanted. But the police searched her bag and found her real ID card with her actual name on it. Later, she admitted she had lied to the officers about who she was. ACCESS Forex lost exactly $322,510 US dollars plus 650,000 South African rand through her scheme. The company has not managed to get any of this money back. Makozho faces serious charges, including fraud, using illegal money, and lying to officials. The court case shows how criminals can use inside knowledge of money systems to steal large amounts. Her actions hurt both the business and possibly many customers who rely on money transfer services. [/QUOTE]
