Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A 31-YEAR-OLD man has appeared in court for issuing fake Gweru City Council shop licences at a shopping mall in the central business district.<\/p>\n

Tinotenda Ndlovu appeared before Gweru provincial magistrate Arnold Maburo yesterday facing four counts of fraud.<\/p>\n

Ndlovu pleaded guilty to the charge and was remanded to today for sentencing.<\/p>\n

It was the State\u2019s case that between February and April this year at African Mall, Ndlovu misrepresented to Dorcas Maphosa, Sheba Golide, Rebecca Gumbo and Tinashe Kupamba that he was a council worker.<\/p>\n

He then issued them with fake City of Gweru shop licences and received US$100 from each of them.<\/p>\n

The fraud was, however, discovered on April 17 by council employees who were on a routine shop licence inspection.<\/p>\n

The workers discovered that the four were displaying fake licences. A report was made to the police, leading to Ndlovu\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n

Taurai Mavuto prosecuted.<\/p>\n
