ZIMDANCEHALL artiste Bessel Mugo Parewa, popularly known as Hwindi President, has taken to social media to register his dismay after the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) seized his car as part of an ongoing clampdown to flush out fraudulently imported motor vehicles.
Parewa claimed that his Chevrolet vehicle, with South African plates, was impounded along the Harare-Masvingo Highway on August 27 this while he was driving from Beitbridge.

Guys I did not steal this car I bought it, i'm tired of being laughed at in the streets and I even have the car papers all of them with me. Help me apologize guys please I am a Zimbabwean citizen guys what did I really do wrong)".
This is not the first time misfortune has befallen the Chengetai maBaby hitmaker this year after his Harare house was demolished two months ago for being an illegal structure.
The seizure of the chanter's car comes after ZIMRA roped in Harare police to set up roadblocks and random raids at various shopping malls in order to enforce customs laws.
Meanwhile, in a post on X, last week ZIMRA commissioner -general Regina Chinamasa appealed to the public to “join ZIMRA in the fight against smuggling.”
“Our dedicated team is working tirelessly to protect Zimbabwe's economy and ensure fair trade practices. Report any suspicious activity to help us safeguard our borders," said Chinamasa.
