Desmond Makondora

TWO suspected serial fraudsters, accused of allegedly operating a fraudulent scheme related to counterfeit currency in and around Harare, are seeking bail amid a flood of 71 cases before the courts.

Following months of investigations, Agrippa Chivhenge and Edious Rungano were arrested by CID detectives while they were asleep at their rented residence in Marlborough.

Mbare Magistrate Denis Mangosi postponed the bail hearing to tomorrow.

Lawyer Stead Kachere,  representing the duo, says his clients need medical attention after they sustained injuries during the investigations.

Fedel Chihengere prosecuted.

More than 100 victims, many of whom had been selling goods via social media platforms, have since come forward.

They have been speaking out about how the suspects allegedly swindled them out of mobile phones, laptops, chickens and various other electronic devises.
