At a time when the government and the reserve bank declare that $1 is equal to 1 bond note, a messeger from Safeguard Security Company has been arrested for swapping them.
The Bulawayo man has been arrested for allegedly stealing US$4 000 delivery money and replacing it with $4 000 bond notes.
Failure to count the money sold Kumbulani Davi (41) out after he allegedly delivered $4 010 to his employer instead of $4 000 payment from Old Nic Mine.
Davi was not asked to plead to theft charges when he appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Ms Adelaide Mbeure.
The magistrate granted him $100 bail and remanded him to May 24 for trial.
Prosecuting, Mr Tawurayi Hondoyemoto said Davi, a trusted messenger of the company under the accounts department, was sent to collect US$4 000 from Old Nic Mine, money for contractual security services rendered to them.

| Man Swaps $4,000 With Authentic Bond Notes! |
“On May 14, Davi was sent to collect the money from Old Nic Mine. He was given two sealed packs of United States dollars which contained a total of 200 notes in $20 denominations.
“On the same date, Davi handed over $4 010 in denominations of $5 and $2 bundles bond notes to his company.
“The money was verified and it was discovered that there was an extra $10. The paying officer at Old Nic Mine, Tracy Gambakwe, was contacted and notified of the excess $10.”
The court heard that she said it was impossible for the denominations to be in excess as she had handed US$20 by 200 to Davi. State Media
