A BULAWAYO socialite – Brendon Shoko, popularly known as Breezy, has been arrested for alleged forgery in a scandal involving his girlfriend and an accomplice.
Shoko (28) allegedly connived with his girlfriend Priscah Chipeta (38) popularly known as Gugulethu Banda to swindle Ms Phethekile Madonko of US$520.
The money was given to Chipeta by Ms Madonko to pay school fees for her child, but the two lovers and a third accomplice Knowledge Mhlanga (41) converted the money to their own use.
They then allegedly forged bank deposit slips to create the false impression that the fees had been paid.
The crime was discovered after the school contacted Ms Madonko reminding her to settle the child’s outstanding fees.
She then filed a police report leading to the arrest of the trio who appeared at the Bulawayo Magistrates Court on Thursday and were remanded in custody pending their bail hearing on Friday.
