One of Zodwa Mkandla’s close friend, hairdresser, Craig Magengezha, is embroiled in a US$70 000 forex deal. A construction firm handed him cash to source forex from the streets. The forex was never delivered.
“He got the money in 2020 and he has not met his part of
the bargain. He was given the Zim dollars to get the US dollars on the streets
but while the local currency was provided, the foreign currency is somewhere
but no one appears to know where right now. This has been going on since
towards the end of 2020 and you can understand the disappointment, among some
people, when they see him having the time of his life at such exclusive parties
when this thing has been hanging on for more than a year now.”
Craig told H Metro :“I was given a certain amount of money
to get US dollars from money changers on the streets. I then looked for a money
changer to give me the cash but, after some days, the guy that I was dealing
with told me that he had been robbed of the money.
“I then reported the case to Norton Police Station and,
ever since then, the matter is still under investigation.”
