ORIGINAL STORY –

15 ZIMBABWEANS DUPED.

SCAM – Victims of the con-artist Tafadzwa Bezel Mbofana seek justice and reimbursement:

IN what would be described as fate, destiny or mere coincidence, a group of hardworking Zimbabweans currently residing in more than a dozen countries fell victim to a conman named Tafadzwa Bezel Mbofana, a Zimbabwean national currently based in Capetown, South Africa. The victims have since formed a formidable front to fight for justice, his deportation and reimbursement of their money advanced to the con artist.

It is not clear as to when Mr Mbofana relocated to South Africa, where he launched an apparel, entertainment and beverage brand called Ruffkurts.

In a very competitive industry, comes costs to promote, market and sustain the lifestyle and the business, Mr Mbofana turned to unsuspecting friends, families and strangers alike to keep up and maintain appearances. He duped more than 15 Zimbabwean victims that have since ganged up on him demanding their money back.

Because the number of victims keep increasing, the story has since caught the attention of social, radio and newspapers in Zimbabwe. One of the most popular newspaper, H – metro has since broken the story before StarFM, ZiFM and Sports FM joined.

Here is a list of those duped by Mr Mbofana –

Tamicom Pvt Ltd – R25 000,00
Rudo – R12 000,00
VictimM- R9 000,00
VictimL – R7 800,00
VictimR – R5 000,00
VictimL – R2 000,00
VictimA – R2 500,00
VictimL2 – R600,00
VictimR- R3409,00

Mr Mbofana met his victims under various circumstances, advanced his plot to promote, market and sell Ruffkurts products.

In a twist of events and commentary, there is another Zimbabwean brand called Ruffcuts, founded in 2001 by Zimbabwe’s presidential candidate, Mr Marco Machona, who also claim that this is a copy cat of the original iconic Zimbabwean brand that sponsored Channel O hip hop tours in Zimbabwe, the same brand sponsored Zim up coming musicians, DJs, comedians and even premier soccer league Caps United. It is assumed that Mbofana stole the businesses concept before relocating to South Africa. Its not yet established how much compensation President Machona would seek from Mr Mbofana. His attorneys are studying the evidence. -Hmetro
