A Bulawayo couple appeared in court for defrauding the person they had given their Ecocash agent line to, bagging $500000 in the process, Newsday reports.

The couple, Fredrick Topia (40) and his wife Nyarai Magaya (32) reportedly registered their company and acquired an agent line for their business. They went on to hire out the line to one Moses Matsveru who transferred $500000 to the agent line.
