A 63-year-old Tanzanian accountant has been attacked by armed criminals who have gone away with four million kwacha he was about to deposit at ABSA Bank in Nakonde District.

FORDSON MWANYANGALA, an accountant from Manyanya Group of Companies, was attacked yesterday, while in a taxi as he was being driven to the bank to deposit the money.

Mr. MWANYANGALA booked the taxi in the Tanzanian town of Tunduma and crossed into Zambia in order to deposit the money at the Bank.
