Chinese national up for fraud

A CHINESE national based in South Africa, who is facing a fraud charge, was on Monday denied bail when he appeared before Harare magistrate Feresi Chakanyuka.

Hu Dong, who was remanded in custody to today for trial, allegedly defrauded Sunny Yi Feng Tiles Company of R2,7 million by buying tiles using fake proof of payments.

Chakanyuka denied Hu bail saying he may flee the country as he had no relatives in Zimbabwe and neither did he have any properties in the country.
