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: > The fertilisers were released into Mafashu’s custody as the stores controller. > His duties include receiving and dispatching stocks and making daily, weekly and monthly stock counts. > From the period extending October 8 to October 29, Mafashu stole 34x50kgs of FSG Compound D fertiliser. 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: > On October 29, Mafashu noticed that the bags of fertiliser were now few and reported that 34 bags were missing. > 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. The total value of the missing fertiliser is $108 000 and nothing was recovered. 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. But one of the witnesses, Pauline Jani, said Mafashu has a case to answer since no unlawful entry case was reported at the depot. *More: The Manica Post* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
