Francisca Chipunza, of Unit O in Seke, Chitungwiza, was not asked to plead to the fraud charge on Monday when she appeared before Chitungwiza regional magistrate, Jessy Kufa.
Allegations against Chipunza are that on July 8 this year, she tendered the fake note to ZETDC cashier Kennard Nyamukubva with the intention of buying electricity tokens.
Nyamukubva immediately raised an alarm after realising that Chipunza had a fake note, leading to the latter’s arrest. Chipunza was remanded to July 27 2015. Innocent Tizirai prosecuted.
