African Distillers Limited employee Tawanda Shoko faces fraud charges worth US$8,500 after appearing before Harare magistrate Appollonia Marutya. The 25-year-old received US$100 bail while awaiting trial proceedings. Authorities continue searching for his alleged partner, Takunda Dandara. Prosecutor Takudzwa Mutyavaviri outlined how both suspects worked at the Chitungwiza depot between July 31 and September 3, 2025. The pair allegedly altered the company's SAP sales system to steal money.
Court records show that the defendants switched expensive products with cheaper alternatives on the return documents, while maintaining the price differences. Their scheme involved changing sales sheets and manipulating stock records. Company officials noticed unusual sales patterns and launched an internal investigation. Internal auditor Godfrey Matambanashe testified that the audit discovered missing funds totaling US$8,578 linked directly to the suspects.
