Khumbula posted the message on WhatsApp groups of car dealers known as Zim Car Dealers forum stating that he wanted to buy a car.

Chikakayi responded by informing Khumbula that he had a Toyota Axio which he was selling.

Sometime in May 2022, the accused called the complainant and they discussed the type of vehicle needed.

The complainant said he wanted a Toyota Corrolla Axio to be ordered from Musina, South Africa.

He was charged US$10 000 for the vehicle.  On May 17, 2022 the accused called the complainant and informed him that he had bought the vehicle and would deliver it in Harare.

Court papers state that they then met at Causeway Building in Harare, and the accused showed the complainant a Toyota Corolla Axio, silver in colour without a registration number, which he alleged that he was selling.

Chikakayi failed to produce documents of the vehicle, which he alleged that he had imported from South Africa.

He made a misrepresentation to the complainant that he had handed the documents of the vehicle to the person who had advanced him the money to buy it.

They then went to Highglen Shopping Centre to get the vehicle documents.

Upon arrival, the complainant paid the accused US$10 000-00.

After a few minutes it is alleged that Chikakayi phoned the complainant and instructed him to follow him to room 58 in Highglen Complex to receipt the money advanced to him.

It was during that time that the accused then fled with the vehicle.

When the complainant came back, he discovered that the accused had fled with the vehicle.  He then made a police report.

Anesu Chirenje prosecuted.
