A former procurement manager faces fraud charges after allegedly diverting over $30,000 from his Harare employer through false invoices and undelivered goods between June and September 2025. Charles Tigere Nyatsapfu appeared before Magistrate Ruth Moyo on related allegations and received bail, with his next court date set for December 3.
Prosecutors accuse Nyatsapfu of inflating purchase requests while working for a local food company. Court documents detail multiple transactions where requested amounts far exceeded actual deliveries or services rendered. Examples include a $7,144 requisition yielding only $1,384 in goods and a $2,652 transport fee, where $812 was actually paid. Another $1,710 payment for plastic containers reportedly never resulted in delivered products. The total alleged loss reached $30,046, with partial recovery of $7,595. Nyatsapfu worked for Ompbinant at the time of the alleged offenses. Company representatives reported the discrepancies after internal audits revealed systematic financial irregularities.
