Cuthbert Zvomuya (40) of Zengeza 5 was given US$112 for examination and centre fees by Tabeth Chikava to register her six subjects.

He denied theft of trust property charges when he appeared before Chitungwiza magistrate Ms Rumbidzai Mugwagwa.
Ms Mugwagwa convicted him after prosecutor Ms Tafadzwa Makwande proved a case against him.

He, however, converted US$24 to his own use and remitted cash for four subjects only.
