Six people got busted in Beitbridge after flipping government fertilizer meant for local farmers through the Presidential Input Scheme. The National Anti-Corruption Association spotted folks buying the subsidized bags from scheme beneficiaries and reselling them for profit around the border town. Chemistry Ndou tried running when cops showed up at his place in Dulibadzimu, but got grabbed anyway after police found 70 bags stashed there.
Another suspect named Angeline Chokutaura from Chivhu, was sitting on 120 bags ready to ship when authorities rolled through Mucheche village. She ratted out Taruvinga Manunure as her supplier, and he also ran before getting caught and admitting he sourced everything from scheme participants.
The whole operation recovered fertilizer valued at around 5,700 bucks between both cases. Four suspects walked on 50-dollar bail, while the other two paid 100-dollar fines to dodge jail time.
