Pfura Rural District ward 34 councilor Mrs Fungai Mavhura and Kamutsenzere GMB Depot Clerk Paddington Chinembire have appeared before Mt Darwin Magistrate Mrs Tendai Chifamba charged with theft of trust property. The state represented by Prosecutor Mrs Lynette Masango alleged that the two connived to steal 25 bags of urea fertiliser sourced for beneficiaries in ward 34 Kamutsenzere under the Presidential Inputs Scheme. After sourcing for a buyer and being paid US$600 councilor Mavhunga is alleged to have conspired with Chinembire to steal the fertiliser which was being kept at Kamutsenzere GMB depot.
