Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A stores controller at Grain Marketing Board (GMB) Chipinge Depot appeared in court on Monday on allegations of stealing 34x50kgs bags of Compound D fertiliser last year.<\/p>\n

Tinashe Mafashu (49) of Usanga suburb in Chipinge appeared before Chipinge magistrate, Elizabeth Hanzi facing theft charges.<\/p>\n

Mafashu pleaded not guilty and was remanded out of custody to yesterday (Wednesday).<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Delia Kathaziye told the court that from 17 May 2021, Compound D fertiliser deliveries were made to GMB Chipinge under the 2021 Presidential Farming Inputs Scheme. Said Kathaziye:<\/p>\n

The fertilisers were released into Mafashu\u2019s custody as the stores controller.<\/p>\n

His duties include receiving and dispatching stocks and making daily, weekly and monthly stock counts.<\/p>\n

From the period extending October 8 to October 29, Mafashu stole 34x50kgs of FSG Compound D fertiliser.<\/p>\n

Khataziye added that from 11 October, Mafashu started making excuses not to carry out physical counting of the stock on a daily basis with the security guard, Zebediah Moyana as they were supposed to do. She said:<\/p>\n

On October 29, Mafashu noticed that the bags of fertiliser were now few and reported that 34 bags were missing.<\/p>\n

The manager carried out a stock check and discovered that they received a total of 14 108x50kgs of compound D, they dispatched 13 283 by 50kgs and they had a remaining stock of 791x50kgs bags, instead of 825x50kgs bags, giving a shortfall of 34x50kg bags of Compound D fertiliser.<\/p>\n

The total value of the missing fertiliser is $108 000 and nothing was recovered.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mafashu argued that he could not steal the property under his custody, saying maybe a mistake was made while loading some of the dispatched fertiliser.<\/p>\n

But one of the witnesses, Pauline Jani, said Mafashu has a case to answer since no unlawful entry case was reported at the depot.<\/p>\n
