TWO ZIMRA men have been arrested for allegedly conniving with a commodity broker to import a vehicle for Prophetic Healing and Deliverance (PHD) ministries founders’ wife, Tendai Magaya and evading duty payment.
The fraudulent deal saw the prophet’s wife losing a Land Rover Discovery 4 vehicle worth about $116,000.
The vehicle has been donated by the church’s senior overseer for Chitungwiza, Admire Mango, to ZIMRA.
Kudakwashe Mapfumo, 30, and Clifford Gonde 30, were charged with fraud and remanded to 30 April when they appeared before Harare magistrate, Tendai Mahwe on Monday.
According to the state, Mapfumo is a former ZIMRA official and Gonde is currently employed as a revenue officer.
It is the state’s case that on the 15th of July 2014, Mango, decided to acquire a high powered all-terrain vehicle for prophet Magaya’s wife.
He then sought for a supplier for a Land Rover Discovery 4, 2014 model and contracted Upenyu Ignatius Mashangwa.
They then entered into a verbal agreement that Mashangwa would import the vehicle from South Africa and deliver it by 22 August 2014.
On 20 July 2014 Mashangwa received $80,000 cash from Mango. The former then teamed up with Cosmas Mushaninga and went to South Africa for the vehicle.
Mushininga and Mashangwa then imported the car from South Africa into Zimbabwe through a temporary import permit on 6 September2014.
On the 20th of September Mashangwa approached Mango asking for $36,000 which he said was meant for the payment of import duty and registration fees.
Mashangwa then purportedly hatched a plan to evade paying duty and acted in cahoots with Mapfumo and Gonde, who were using their positions as ZIMRA officials to manufacture fake documents.
The state further alleges that they then misrepresented that the vehicle was not a recent import, stating that Magaya bought it in 2009 through a public auction from K.M Auctions.
The duo purported that the vehicle was registered previously by CMED under registration number PL 047, adding that it was a 2004 model.
They then assessed the vehicle’s value to be $18,000 and charged a special duty of 5% which amounted to $900.
The misrepresentation came to light after Mango approached ZIMRA officials to verify the authenticity of the vehicle registration.
On 13 March 2015 ZIMRA seized the vehicle by issuing a notice of seizure to Tendayi Magaya.
The commodity broker, Cosmas Mushininga was arrested last month and remanded to 30 April on $100 bail.
Mashangwa has since appeared before the same court facing similar charges and is on $300 bail. – NewZimbabwe
