Daniel Nemukuyu Senior Court Reporter
A CHITUNGWIZA pastor who went on a spending spree after swindling US$2 000 from the parents of the missing Given Flint Matapure, has been convicted of fraud.
Royce Archibald Kasumba (30) of Mayambara Village, Seke, misrepresented to Given’s parents that “the Holy Spirit” had revealed to him the whereabouts of the boy.
The three-year-old Given went missing during this year’s Harare Agricultural Show in August.

Kasumba told Harare provincial magistrate Mr Kudakwashe Jarabini yesterday that his US$100 salary from the Holy Salvation Church tempted him to defraud the couple.

The unions said the workers will only resume work when they are given a written undertaking and reasonable payment plan on the money they are owed.
The workers got an arbitral award of a 16 percent salary increment effective January this year. However, council reportedly gave each worker a top-up of US$20.
Harare Municipal Workers’ Union chairperson Mr Cosmas Bungu yesterday said council wanted to award increments on a sliding scale against a Labour Court directive.
