Facts of the Case

Background

The accused was charged with theft of an ATM card and convicted. He used the card to purchase goods worth ZW$153,180. The regional magistrate referred the matter for automatic review, questioning whether the appropriate charge should have been under sections 167 and 168 of the Criminal Code for unauthorized use of the card, rather than theft of the card itself.
