By Pardon Hungwe| A Chiredzi woman resident Brenda Dhaka was yesterday dragged before selling fake stands to residents.

Dhaka, 35, appeared before Magistrate, Moses Musiiwa where it was alleged that she was giving fake residental stands offer letters to unsuspecting individuals.

The state lead by public prosecutor Tanyaradzwa Dube alleges that sometime last month, Dhaka allegedly sold an unexisting residential stand to Precious Mungoni.

“On an unknown date during the month of September at House number 2742 West Road Chiredzi, the accused person connived with Tadiwanashe Musundire and produced counterfeit Chiredzi Town Council residential stands offer letters.

“The letters were generated using a Lenovo Laptop Serial number PF4CG40C,” the State alleges.

The State the counterfeit offer letters were then sold to unsuspecting individuals.

“Sometime during the month of September 2024, accused misrepresented to Precious Mungoni that she was a Chiredzi Town Council employee who was selling residential stands on behalf of Chiredzi Town Council.”

It is the State’s case that Dhaka swindled Mungoni of US$4000 in the transaction.

“Through that misrepresentation accused was given US$4000usd cash but never offered Precious Mungoni the residential stand,” said Dube who represented the State

Magistrate Musiiwa however granted Dhaka $100 bail coupled with tough conditions of reporting to the police every Friday whilst her passport was ordered to deposited to the Clerk of Court until her matter is finalised.
