Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Popular gospel musician Mai Dhuterere, whose real name is Dorcas Vambe, appeared before a Harare magistrate on Thursday, December 12, facing charges of defrauding aspiring ZANU PF Glen Norah MP Chrispen Magaya of US$16,000 in a vehicle import duty scam.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old, who is married to fellow gospel musician and preacher Darlington Mutseta, known as Mambo Dhuterere, reportedly conspired with her brother, Kudakwashe Vambe, who is currently at large.<\/p>\n

According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the duo misrepresented themselves to Magaya by claiming they had a Toyota Hilux GD6 for sale.<\/p>\n

They further deceived Magaya into believing that he could acquire two vehicles within his budget of US$16,000.<\/p>\n

Vambe falsely asserted that they had a waiver from the President of Zimbabwe, allowing them to import the vehicles duty-free due to her contributions as a musician.<\/p>\n

Trusting their claims, Magaya handed over the full amount of US$16,000 to Vambe, who provided a receipt in the form of an affidavit, promising to deliver the vehicles within two weeks.<\/p>\n

However, Vambe failed to fulfill this promise and instead provided Magaya with a Ford Ranger registered in Botswana, assuring him that a Mercedes Benz C200 would follow.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the Ford Ranger was later impounded by the police for being operated without a valid temporary permit.<\/p>\n

Vambe has since been granted bail set at US$100.<\/p>\n
