A Harare woman, Albina Mutiza, has appeared in court facing allegations of stealing over $27,000 from her employer, Priddles Investments (Pvt) Ltd, where she worked as a sales representative at Shop F4B in the Gulf Complex. Mutiza was remanded in custody until April 29 after her bail application was denied by Harare magistrate Ruth Moyo.
The allegations stem from a decline in sales noted by the company between April 2024 and April 2025, prompting them to hire an auditor to review accounting records. The audit revealed a discrepancy of $27,375.36, leading to further investigations. On April 7, 2025, Mutiza allegedly completed her shift, submitted a daily sales report, and surrendered $1,075 to her employer. However, she reportedly returned to the shop and sold accessories worth $335 after submitting the earlier cash.
When confronted about the discrepancy, Mutiza allegedly retrieved $335 from her jeans, claiming it was part of the day’s sales. A search of her residence in Budiriro by police recovered ICT accessories worth $902 belonging to the complainant. The total amount allegedly stolen is $27,375.36, with only $1,237 recovered so far.
