A Harare man, Thulani Roy Dhlamini was on Tuesday forced to
clean the guest house he had booked over non-payment of rentals.
Thulani who is popular for reportedly consuming beer worth
$87 000 last year at Club Sankayi owned by socialite Genius Kadungure, was
ordered to clean the house he had stayed for two weeks.
On Tuesday, it is reported that he had booked to stay
before having a confrontation with the landlady at the residence who then
shared the altercation on social media.
The rentals’ war which has since spilled to social media is
over US$240. The videos and pictures of the pair cleaning were taken at corner
6th and Kwame Nkrumah West Minister Court, Grey building. Number 316.
Close sources said, Roy is always in the company of his
female partner identified as Natasha Dube.
Several people are alleging that they have fallen victim to
him and are labelling him as a great scammer.
Contacted for comment, Thulani admitted to the issue and
blamed his landlady for failing to solve the issue amicably.
“Everyone is aware that rentals issue is a challenge
especially during this time of fighting Covid-19 and these guys are taking
advantage of previous issues.
“We agreed that I would pay in cash but I am having
challenges with my accounts of which I will pay.
“How can she take the issue to social media and I am not on
the run as alluded on social media, how would I be answering your call if I am
on the run.
“I am admitting that I owe her US$240 but haisi nyaya
yekuti inoiswa paFaceebok, I only stayed for 15 days and I am going to settle
the issue.”
Asked to comment on other cases raised against him, he
said: “People are using my background, and I admit that I did
wrong, I made a mistake when I had an issue at Club Sankayi but that issue was
settled and dealt with.
“It’s now character assassination, because I did something
way back and people are bringing it now. You are journalist, you can go and
verify all these cases raised against me with the police.
“It’s just social media doing the character assassination
worse with my age, imagine how people will see me,” he said.
However, a close source who was at the house said, Thulani
is not clean. “He is busy scamming people in Harare, Gweru and Bulawayo.
“So within 24 hours, Thulani Roy Dhlamini and Natasha Dube,
had already pounced on their next target.
“It was easy to track them down in the Avenues and on
arrival, security guard said yes they indeed are booked in one of the Units.
“On getting to the Unit, Natasha claimed Roy had just left
10 mins ago but was coming back yet he was hiding in the wardrobe.
“Fast forward, they got kicked out after being exposed and
we proceeded with them to our place and ordered them to clean up their mess and
wash up all the linen and rugs.
“After that the two were dropped off at Central Police
Station as a matter of a safe drop off zone.
“As law abiding citizens, we would very much appreciate
publicising such scams to save the next victims from what we went through,”
said the source.
While, another source is alleging that Thulani ran away
from South Africa without paying after using fake generated fraudulent
messages.
“Very young Zimbabweans, confirmed a Full Month Booking via
Air BnB and submitted a fraudulent FNB POP.
“They checked in on 1 July and took a hike last Friday
pretending they are away for the weekend and will return plus also settle the
payment in cash.
“He claimed he will find out why payment isn’t in your bank
as yet, we already established via FNB SA Fraud Team that the alleged payment
is a computer generated fraudulent POP.
“A case was opened against them in Zimbabwe on Saturday
under IR 070985 investigations.
“They are obviously on the run Want to expose them and stop
them from pouncing on unsuspecting victims in future.”
Further allegation are that Natasha who once grabbed
headlines in the H-Metro is working in connivance with Thulani reportedly making fraudulent online bookings
pouncing on unsuspecting victims. H Metro
