RGM End Time Message leader Robert Martin Gumbura, who is serving 40 years in jail for sexually abusing his female congregants, has dismissed claims he owes $74 700 to Idem Trading (Pvt) Limited, trading as Eurotex, arguing he settled the debt before he was jailed.
Through his lawyer IEG Musimbe and Partners, Gumbura states that he bought a 125kva generator and leather lounge suite sometime in 2011. He also purchased a fish tank sometime in 2007 and paid for it together with the leather lounge suite. The lawyers further said the furniture firm gave Gumbura a room divider for free and there was no obligation for him to pay for it.The lawyers claim that Eurotex is making up its claim as only four furniture items are not paid for in contrast to their 9.
Eurotex claims that Gumbura did not pay for kitchenware, lounge and dining suites, 125kva generator, fish tanks, gym bikes, quad bikes, snooker table, executive desk and chair and office furniture. The matter is set to be heard by High Court judge Justice Felistus Chatukuta in a pre-trial conference.
