A DEPUTY director in the Ministry of Women Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development was on Saturday hauled before a Chipinge magistrate facing charges of stealing Cyclone Idai donations worth $3000.
The accused Christine Chideme (63) of house number 85 Malberton, Southerton, Harare appeared before resident magistrate Mr Farai Gwitima who denied her bail and remanded the matter to Wednesday for trial.
She pleaded not guilty.
Public prosecutor, Mr Themba Dhliwayo, told the court that on April 3 at around 7pm, the accused person who was driving a Toyota Landcruiser (WAG-CD23) was stopped by Terrence Majonga, a soldier, while she was coming from Silver Stream command centre.
She was searched and her vehicle was found with an assortment of goods donated to the victims of Cyclone Idai.
