Some bad people tricked a 43-year-old man from Zvishavane. They made him think they found a lot of money on the side of the road and said they wanted to share it with him.
One of the bad guys is Wellington Nhiwatiwa. He is 46 years old. Yesterday, he went to court in front of a judge named Mr. Isheanesu Matova. Nhiwatiwa is being accused of fraud.
Nhiwatiwa did not want to be put on remand. The court will decide what to do on Thursday.
The prosecutor, Mr. Takudzwa Jambawu, explained what happened. It took place on November 19th.
Nhiwatiwa and seven of his friends went up to Mr. Luckson Daka right after he got off an Inter-Africa bus. He was coming from Zvishavane.
The group threw a bunch of fake money wrapped in plastic in front of Mr. Daka, making him believe it was a lot of real money.
They talked Mr. Daka into going with them to Harare Kopje Mountain. They said they would split the money with him there.
When they reached the mountain, another group of five men showed up. They acted like police officers.
They searched Mr. Daka's bag, taking the US$15,000 he had with him, and then ran away.
