THE Zimbabwe National Water Authority (Zinwa) reportedly lost more than US$48 000 and ZWG94 000 000 to a former personal assistant (PA) of the chief executive Taurai Marukira after she fraudulently processed purchase orders which did not exist.

Mercy Ndiweni (42) appeared before Harare magistrate Patricia Kamwanda, who remanded her to October 10 for routine remand on US$150 bail.

She was advised to reside at her given address, surrender her passport to the clerk of court and report at CID Commercial Crimes Division once every week.
