Warrant of arrest for Tich Mataz

HARARE magistrate Elijah Makomo yesterday issued a warrant of arrest against suspended Star FM programmes manager Tichafa Matambanadzo after he defaulted a routine remand hearing at the Harare Magistrates Court.

Matambanadzo’s name was called out three times as per procedure so that he could appear in court, but he was nowhere to be found.

Popularly known as Tich Mataz, the disc jockey–cum–businessman is facing allegations of defrauding his employer of over $126 000 through a scheme in which he allegedly converted advertising revenue to his personal use.
