A LEADING Beitbridge businessman, Gina Masanga, has been dragged to court charged with fraud involving US$21 000.
Masanga appeared before magistrate Evelyn Mashavakure, who released him on US$150 bail, after he spent Tuesday night in remand prison.
The complainant is Allen Tatenda Badzarigere of Bulawayo.
The court heard that between November 2023 and January this year, the two entered into an agreement where Masanga was supposed to buy a Mercedes Benz on behalf of Badzarigere.
Masanga allegedly received US$14 500 in two batches through his sister and US$6 900, which he received personally, towards the purchase of the car.
Masanga allegedly converted the money to his own use.
He allegedly became evasive and blocked his client who later filed a police report.
