Buhera – An employee with Mukuru, a financial services company is allegedly on the run after US$11 652 went missing at the company’s outlet at Murambinda Growth Point.

Chipinge Times understands that the suspected employee is Jairos Tapota.

The matter came to light when Samuel Panganai (31), a regional supervisor (Retail) detected an anomaly and ordered the accused to attend to it on October 14, 2022.

However, on October 19 the accused allegedly did not report for duty and this prompted the regional supervisor to alert the regional manager Rodney Rondodzai who instructed Fawcett to do a forensic audit.

Fawcett allegedly realised that US$8 152 was missing and a further US$3 500 could not be found in the safe. Efforts to get a comment from Rondozai were futile as his mobile was not reachable.

A police docket has since been opened at Murambinda police.
