BUSINESSMAN Genius “Ginimbi” Kadungure has demanded that
former First Lady Grace Mugabe’s son Russell Goreraza and her brother Samson
Marufu pay him his full balance after a botched sale of his Mercedes Benz ML63
to the two.
In a High Court case, Goreraza borrowed the car from
Kadungure last year and got involved in an accident. He then reportedly sold
the damaged vehicle to Marufu without the knowledge of Kadungure.
When Kadungure got wind of the transaction, he demanded
payment of the wreck or its return from Marufu.
This prompted Marufu
to approach the High Court seeking an interdict against Kadungure arguing that
he wanted to unlawfully take away the car despite the former investing US$18
000 to repair it.
In his notice of opposition, Kadungure clarified that he
entered into an agreement of sale with Marufu in December 2019 when he realised
that he had been duped by Goreraza.
He said Marufu has paid US$4 000 and a balance of US$11 000
remained outstanding and was due within a week of the initial payment.
He said Goreraza should have involved him in the sale of
the wreck since it was still registered in his name, adding that it ended up
being undervalued by US$5 000.
Kadungure said Marufu was lying that their agreement of
sale had no specific deadlines for payment.
“His claim to the motor vehicle is mired in dubious
circumstances.
“The applicant ought to simply pay the outstanding balance
rather than use the court through misrepresentations to avoid paying what is
lawfully owed to me.
“If truth be told, it has been me who has been very patient
with the applicant in pursuing my balance since December 2019,” Kadungure said.
Kadungure denied threatening or using illegal means to
recover his vehicle and said he was in the process of instituting a lawsuit
against Marufu over the issue.
“My communications with the applicant were legitimate
demands regarding the fact that the balance is long overdue. The applicant has
been using the excuse of the current national lockdown.
“In any event it is for the applicant to follow up with his
relative (Goreraza) about the US$10 000 he paid him,” added Kadungure. Daily
