For the past seven months, EcoCash agents around Harare have been targeted by people using a white GD6 or white Fortuner with fake number plates. The suspects approach agents with bundles that include Zimbabwean bearer cheques mixed with a single US$10 note, which they present as genuine cash.

Their modus operandi is to first present real money, make a withdrawal, and then switch the bundle with fake notes. For example, they may present US$280, but only US$10 will be genuine while the rest are counterfeit notes. Each time, they steal between US$250 and US$600. So far, these criminals have stolen over US$40,000 in cash.

As agents, we have noticed that EcoCash is doing very little to assist in blocking the numbers used for these fraudulent cash-ins. The company claims they cannot block a number without generating a statement after the crime has already happened, and often the system is offline, making it impossible to generate such statements.

What we have also realised is that every time these crimes occur, the EcoCash platform conveniently goes offline. This has led us to suspect that the thieves might be working with someone inside Econet’s ICT department. Furthermore, Econet has not made the available pictures and videos from agents public, which could help identify and catch these criminals.

ZIMRA OFFICIALS SIPHON US$6,3 MILLION: Two senior Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) employees have appeared in court facing charges of defrauding the tax collector of more than ZiG171 million (US$6.34 million) and US$37,200 through a sophisticated cyber fraud scheme.

Shupikai Mary Nicola Marongwe, 52, a database administrator from Waterfalls, and Paradzai Mutasa, 35, a systems developer from Hatfield were remanded in custody to Friday for bail hearing following their brief appearance before magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa on Friday.

Both were public officers at ZIMRA, entrusted with administering and securing the institution’s critical tax systems.

Prosecutors told the court that the two masterminded the scam during the roll-out of the Zimbabwe Electronic Single Window (ZESW) project, designed to streamline permits, licences, and customs processes by linking with the ASYCUDA system.

In September 2024, a United Nations consultant working on the project requested a limited-access account for integration purposes. Instead, Marongwe and Mutasa allegedly created a backdoor account called “ZESWASYCUDA” with full administrative rights, in violation of ZIMRA’s change management policy.

Armed with these elevated privileges, the pair recruited clearing agents across the country and began manipulating prepayment accounts. They allegedly inserted fictitious deposits into ZIMRA’s database, creating the false impression that clearing agents had paid customs duties when in fact no money had reached ZIMRA’s bank accounts.

The scam allowed clearing agents to process import clearances without paying duty, while the accused collected hard cash from the agents and pocketed it.

“By abusing their positions, the accused acted contrary to their duties as public officers, showing favour to themselves and prejudice to ZIMRA,” the National Prosecuting Authority charges.

Investigations revealed that the fraud bled ZIMRA of over US$6.34 million in local currency and nothing has been recovered to date.

Assume you meet your old schoolmate (a lady called Tsitsi ) at a club and you are both drunk. Then you vibe and you offer to drop her home since she lives on your way.

You get Tsitsi to your car and she seats on the front seat, then you decide to go back to buy a takeaway. While you are gone, she sees her neighbour and tells her to hope in the back since she has managed to find free and convenient transport to take her home.

Her neighbor, Nomsa gets in but dozes off immediately.

Now you get back and start driving . Tsitsi is already too sleepy. By the time you get to her place, she is too tired and all she wants to do is get to her bed and sleep. You even help her out to her door and say good bye.

Now you are driving home a happy man but you have no idea Nomsa is sleeping at the back since you never saw her or talked to her. Tsitsi also forgot about her since she was wasted.

You get home, park, and since you are also too tired to be keen, you rush to sleep. The following day is Sunday, your wife is using your car to church since she knows you are wasted and you are fine by it.

She opens it at around 7am … and 💥 💥 Nomsa is sleeping at the back. She has removed her bra and shoes…..she had a miniskirt and since they don’t put on inner pants these days , her skirt has pulled up and everything private is visible.

Explain with a graph how you will convince your wife that you don’t even know Nomsa (60 marks). You are free to use a calculator.

In a move that left court officials and observers stunned, a 22-year-old Mufakose man, George Pfumbwa, made headlines this week after refusing an offer of community service and insisting instead on going to jail.

Pfumbwa, who had admitted to attempting to bribe a police officer with US$80 during an arrest on August 5, was given the opportunity to perform community service after his conviction. But when sent to the Community Service Office for processing, he shocked officials by saying he preferred imprisonment.

“He was clearly told what community service involved,” said a court official who witnessed the exchange. “It’s not every day that someone chooses jail.”

Magistrate Sarah Makupi was left with no option but to hand Pfumbwa a four-month custodial sentence, despite the fact that he is a first-time offender.

Community service, which has been in place since 1992, is a standard sentence for non-violent crimes in Zimbabwe. It’s considered rehabilitative and cost-effective, typically involving work at clinics, schools, or public institutions during normal working hours.

Legal experts say the courts usually avoid jailing first-time offenders to protect them from negative influences in prison. But Pfumbwa’s surprising decision has raised eyebrows and questions.

“Why would someone choose prison over a non-custodial sentence? Was it personal pride? A misunderstanding? Or is there something deeper going on in his life?” one observer asked.

Pfumbwa’s choice may have been rare, but it highlights the complex ways people perceive punishment, justice, and dignity. His case is now sparking debate both inside and outside the courtroom.
