Two top officials at Littlerock International School pleaded guilty to stealing US$289,997 from the institution. Executive Principal Chamunorwa Gracious Dahwa and bursar Tambudzai Majuru face fraud charges in Harare. Magistrate Donald Ndirowei will sentence the pair on Thursday after their guilty pleas. Court records show they used fake receipt books to divert school fees into personal accounts. Majuru ordered receipt books with the school logo from DH Solutions but kept them secret from school leaders. She then used these books 308 times to collect money meant for the school. Instead of sending the funds to school accounts, she and Dahwa took the cash. Police found one hidden receipt book at Dahwa's home on June 8, 2024. This book showed US$80,073 in diverted payments. After her arrest, Majuru named Dahwa as her partner in the scheme. The investigation revealed that Majuru ordered two sets of receipt books with matching numbers. The pair logged some payments in real books and sent the money to the school, while they put other payments in fake books and kept the money. They tried to hide their actions by destroying the fake books. Parents later brought receipts to the school that didn't match official records. A document expert confirmed that Majuru wrote these fake receipts. The total theft reached US$289,997. Records proved US$150,847 of the missing money. The rest, US$139,150, vanished with the destroyed receipt books. Police recovered none of the stolen funds. Dahwa managed school operations in Harare and Norton. Majuru handled receipt books and collected fees from parents. Their actions breached the trust placed in them by the school community. [/QUOTE]
