Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Former provincial cricketer and one-time television pundit Dumisani Mankunzini was on 4 November remanded in custody to 18 November over charges of fraud.<\/p>\n

Mankunzini who has allegedly been on the run since 14 December last year appeared before Bulawayo magistrate, Mr Busani Sibanda at the Bulawayo Magistrates Court.<\/p>\n

He was charged with five counts of fraud for contravening section 136 (b) as defined in Law Codification (Criminal and Reform) Act Chapter 9:23 when the state presented its case before the bench.<\/p>\n

In the first case, in which he is facing two counts, the State accused Mankunzini of defrauding two medical doctors of a total of US$520 after convincing them that he would secure them employment in the Zimbabwe cricket national team as team doctors.<\/p>\n

In the second case which he has been charged with three counts, Mankunzini is said to have stayed at a city lodge for three before disappearing without paying his dues.<\/p>\n

Mankunzini is expected to be before the courts on 18 November.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Mankunzini was also accused of defrauding some people<\/b> of their hard-earned cash while claiming to be a revered global cricket media personality or an employee paid handsomely by the International Criminal Court.<\/p>\n

A Johannesburg businessman claimed to have lost close to R500 000 paying for Mankunzini\u2019s accommodation, food and transport between September 2018 and February 2019.<\/p>\n

The former cricketer reportedly told his victim that the International Cricket Council (ICC) would reimburse him for taking care of their \u201cemployee\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mankunzini dismissed the allegations, asking rhetorically, \u201c… if I\u2019ve conned anyone why am I still walking freely?\u201d<\/p>\n
