Nurse Aides Headed To UK Dupped US$36 000
Two Harare men who pretended to be agents who could arrange sponsorship certificates to travel to the United Kingdom appeared in court for allegedly stealing $36,000 from desperate nurse aides.
Alexander Dhliwayo and Boniface Jana were charged with fraud and remanded on $70,000 bail each by Harare magistrate Mr Dennis Mangosi until May 11.
It is the State’s case that sometime in September last year at the Harare offices of Karigamombe Nurse and Nourish, Dhliwayo and Jana misrepresented to Kennedy Ndambakuwa that they were capable of processing certificates of sponsorship for 18 students who wanted to go to the United Kingdom for nursing employment.

They knew that they did not have the capacity to process the wanted certificates of sponsorship and yet still accepted the US$36 000 payment.
Upon realising that nothing was materialising, Mr Ndambakuwa filed a police report leading to the arrest of the two.
