Mai Dhuterere Faces Fraud Charges Over Botched Car Deal


By A Correspondent 


Dorcas Vambe, wife of musician Mambo Dhuterere, has been arraigned before a Harare Magistrate on fraud charges for allegedly duping a local politician of $16,000 in a botched car deal ¹.


*The Alleged Fraud Scheme*


Vambe, 36, allegedly connived with her brother Kudakwashe Vambe, who is still at large, to defraud the complainant. The duo claimed they could purchase a Toyota Hilux GD6 in Botswana and import two cars duty-free, using a waiver allegedly granted to Vambe by President Emmerson Mnangagwa as a token of appreciation for her music.


*The Complainant's Loss*


The complainant, interested in the deal, handed over $16,000 to Vambe, who acknowledged receipt and committed to delivering two Toyota Hilux GD6 vehicles within two weeks. However, Vambe failed to fulfill her obligation, leading to her arrest.


*Bail and Court Appearance*


Vambe was released on $100 bail and is expected to appear in court on January 15, 2025.
