Facts of the Case

Background

Plaintiff Robson Chapfika, a businessman and finance consultant, claimed 10% of illegally exported amounts (circa US$450,000) from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe as a whistleblower reward for providing information that led to the prosecution and conviction of the National Merchant Bank (NMB Bank) for exchange control violations. The defendant denied the plaintiff's role and disputed the legal basis of the claim.
