The complaint was lodged by Reggis Takaiteyi Chitekwe, a regional loss control officer for NetOne.
Prosecutor Takudzwa Jambawu informed the court that between January 2023 and January 2024, Malamulo allegedly exploited his position to generate fake requisitions for purchasing equipment. He is accused of manipulating the company’s petty cash system and forging his superiors’ signatures to approve these fraudulent transactions.
