The Harare dealer once appeared at the Harare Magistrates’
Courts facing allegations of duping a client of US$8 000 in a car deal in 2017.
He was, however, cleared of any wrongdoing after he applied
for discharge at the close of the State case, which ruled the case was weak and
lacked merit.
The State failed to prove that Chauraya had defrauded one,
Clara Hambury, of US$8k in a car deal.
Allegations were that on October 5, 2015, Clara called
Chauraya and requested to be shown some vehicles on sale on his Facebook Page
“Cars for Cash” since she was looking for a truck to buy.
However, in June last year, Chauraya appeared at the same
court, this time as a complainant after losing R138 000, in a car deal, with
one of them pretending to be Deputy Health Minister Dr John Mangwiro.
The State alleged that on June 16, Chauraya, came across an
advert where Chirume’s brother, Governor Chirume, was advertising cars and
claiming to be a car dealer in South Africa.
Chauraya is said to have ordered an Isuzu KB300, which
Chirume offered for R138 000, inclusive of driving it to Beitbridge Border
Post.
Chauraya accepted the deal and the next day deposited R130
000 into Chirume’s South African account FNB Bank.
No cash came through and Chauraya, without a car or cash
for the transaction, filed a police report. H Metro
