Ginimbi’s new Bentley has been seized by the Zimbabwe
Revenue Authority who say the flashy motor was undervalued.
Zimra officers stormed his Domboshawa mansion and grabbed
the vehicle. An angry Ginimbi has rushed to the courts to seek the release of
the Bentley.
“In the interim, I seek an interdict prohibiting the first
respondent (Zimra) and her officers from seizing or embargoing my vehicle on
the basis that the duty paid was insufficient without first seeking an order
from this court to that effect,” said Ginimbi.
Ginimbi said he bought the vehicle in South Africa for R1.9
million.
“Having purchased the vehicle and paid for it in full, I
caused it to be imported into Zimbabwe through the Beitbridge border post. I
attach relevant documents from the cargo carrier and from South African
authorities pertaining to the clearing and movement of the vehicle… as the
vehicle had been in a South African bonded warehouse, it had to be cleared by
the South African authorities…
“At the border, I appeared personally and filled in Form No
52A which is a customs duty declaration form… I declared that the vehicle ought
to be assessed duty on its purchase price. The customs officers responsible
inspected the vehicle and they assessed duty in terms of that figure and an
invoice for customs duty and VAT was issued.”
He did not reveal how much he paid.
