Zanu-PF politician Energy Mutodi lost $13 000 to Memory Kashangura (42) in a botched vehicle registration deal.
Kashangura was asked not to plead when he appeared before magistrate Victoria Mashamba who remanded the matter to June 14 for bail application. The court heard Mutodi imported two Volkswagen buses from South Africa in 2010 and approached Kashangura who charged him $13 000 for the payment of import duty.
Kashangura allegedly took the money and prepared fraudulent documents which he used to register the buses at Central Vehicle Registry (CRV). After 30 days, Kashangura brought the registration plates of the two vehicles with their registration books which were in Mutodi’s name. On March 27, 2011, Mutodi was approached by detectives who told him that the two buses were fraudulently registered.
