N Richards cashier steals US$35 250
Police in Rusape are looking for a cashier from N Richards Wholesalers, Tawanda Manzvinde (34), who is accused of stealing US$35,250 during the Easter holiday. The theft has revealed serious weaknesses in both the company’s internal checks and the security procedures used by an outside security company.
Manzvinde is now on the run and is believed to have left the country. The CID has increased its efforts to find him and is asking the public for help. A US$2,500 reward is being offered for any information that leads to his arrest.
Sources say that Manzvinde’s job included collecting cash from till operators at the end of each day and handing it over to Fawcett Security for safe keeping before it was taken to the bank.
On April 16, 2025, Manzvinde allegedly started his plan. He collected US$13,217, but instead of putting the real cash in the box, he filled it with pieces of bond paper cut to look like money. He then gave the sealed box to Fawcett Security, who reportedly did not check what was inside.
From April 17 to 21, he is said to have repeated this trick, collecting another US$22,033 and putting bond paper inside sealed boxes, which were again accepted without being checked.
Manzvinde was last seen on April 21. When he didn’t show up for work the next day, his supervisor, Mr Brian Mukwenha, became worried. He called Manzvinde’s wife, Mrs Rumbidzai Madondo (31), who said she hadn’t seen him since the day before.
Mukwenha then asked Fawcett Security to return the sealed boxes. When they were opened in front of him, they found only bond paper inside — confirming that the money had been stolen.
The case was immediately reported to Rusape Central Police Station, and a full investigation began under case number CRB 6292029. So far, no one has been arrested and the stolen money has not been found.
Police are asking anyone who has information about Manzvinde’s location to report it to the nearest police station. N Richards Wholesalers has repeated its offer of a US$2,500 reward for any useful information that leads to his arrest and the return of the stolen money.
This case has raised serious concerns about how both the company and the security firm handle and protect large sums of money.

Insurance plays a crucial role in protecting against unexpected financial losses. Selecting the right policy requires understanding coverage limits, premiums, and exclusions.
Keywords such as “affordable insurance quotes” and “best insurance coverage plans” are highly competitive. Reviewing options carefully ensures you get the best protection for your needs.
A slip and fall accident can happen anywhere: a grocery store, restaurant, parking lot, apartment building, hotel, or workplace. While some falls are minor, others can cause broken bones, back injuries, head trauma, hip injuries, or long-term pain.
A slip and fall lawyer helps injured people pursue claims when unsafe property conditions caused the fall. These conditions may include wet floors, poor lighting, broken stairs, loose rugs, icy sidewalks, uneven pavement, or missing warning signs.
To have a strong claim, you usually need to show that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn people. Evidence is very important in these cases.
After a fall, take photos of the area, report the incident to the property owner or manager, get witness information, and seek medical attention. Do not rely only on memory because the dangerous condition may be cleaned up or repaired quickly.
Insurance companies may argue that you were not paying attention or that your shoes caused the fall. A lawyer can help push back against these arguments and investigate what really happened.
Compensation may include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, physical therapy, and future care. If you were hurt because a business or property owner failed to keep the area safe, a slip and fall attorney may help you understand your legal options.
