*Harare Businesswoman Arrested For Using Fake Rebate Letters To Import Cars* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?yd Harare businesswoman Hezel Mafu and Emmanuel Nyagano allegedly used fake civil servants rebate exemption letters to import vehicles, leading to their arrest. The accused purchased a Toyota Sienta 2013 model from Japan, forged a civil servants rebate letter in the name of Dumiso Sibanda from the Home Affairs ministry without his consent, and used it to import the vehicle. ---------- Latest itel A06 on Pindula: 32GB storage, 4GB RAM $69 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 ---------- They misled Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) officials into believing that Mafu was a civil servant and collected the car without paying duty. The vehicle was registered in Sibanda’s name and was used as a pirate taxi in the city. They repeated the same process in September 2022, importing another vehicle, a Toyota Sentra 2014 model from Japan using a forged rebate letter in the name of Erick Chemhere employed by the Defence Ministry. The accused avoided paying import duty, and they again made it a pirate taxi. The State alleges that ZIMRA lost US$13,500 in potential import duty revenue, although some of the motor vehicles were recovered. ZIMRA in conjunction with the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) recently launched an operation initiated to prevent the misuse of tax rebates granted to civil servants by the government to import vehicles duty-free. About 36 vehicles have been seized while many car dealers in Harare and other areas were arrested for importing vehicles using fake civil service rebate letters. *More Pindula News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
