The 55-year-old councillor was dragged to Plumtree magistrates' courts yesterday. He appeared before Magistrate Joshua Nembaware, who granted him $50 bail. The state led by Selestine Madziwa alleged that sometime in 2023, Campfire Mangwe Rural District Council opened a ZB bank account and the councillor put as one of the signatories. On March 26 last year, the councillor and one signatory, Benjamin Ncube withdrew $700 instead of $84 for travelling expenses. On May 3, Bernard Moyo confronted the councillor on why he withdrew a larger sum of money than expected, and he said he had loaned himself. A police report was filed, leading to the arrest of the councillor.
