A Harare businessman has been dragged to court on allegations of defrauding the director of Cobra Security of US$76 000 in a botched vehicle imports deal.
Elias Murandu(37) appeared before Harare magistrate Ruth Moyo last week.
The complainant is Misheck Zvarivadza, the director of Cobra Security .
The court heard that Murandu allegedly misrepresented to Zvarivadza that he could facilitate the importation of a Range Rover, Toyota Hilux Legend 50 and Toyota Fortuner from South Africa at US$29 000, US$24 000 and US$23 000 respectively.
The complainant acted on the misrepresentation and paid a total of US$76 000 to Murandu using both cash and bank transfers.
Murandu never imported the motor vehicles, and kept giving empty promises until he eventually became unavailable.
This prompted the complainant to report the matter to police.
