By Letter To The Editor: Please help me make our community aware of this womanising monster. His name is Michael Phineas (Sikanyika). He was an intelligence officer until early this year when I heard he was promoted to deputy ambassador in the Netherlands. I’m not sure how accurate that post is. This man is a con artist and a womaniser, to say the least. I rented out my house to him, and I, too, fell victim to his lies and schemes. Simba, if I didn’t know better, I would say this man uses charms or witchcraft. Even when you are aware of his crooked behaviour, when he wants something from you, you find yourself giving it to him against your will. When he moved out, I honestly felt a weight lifted off of me. He carries a strange burden, and even the atmosphere in the house changes when he leaves.
I didn’t realise the extent of his fraudulent behaviour until people started coming after him. One person lost $3,000 after being promised he would use his rebate to import a car for them. Others were sold forms from the Ministry of Lands, promising land that didn’t exist. Double sales of stands. Women he used and defrauded money from were told that he was about to leave, and he paid for an advance ticket for them to join him. He is a serious womaniser. His wife even reached a point where she left for Poland just to escape the drama. Even after he got promoted, she refused to go and stay with him in the Netherlands because she’s tired. Sources close to her say she prefers to enjoy the benefits from a distance.
I gave him floor tiles worth $400 and never got my money. He targets women with money or those he thinks he can prey on. He took advantage of many people when he was the Officer in Charge (OI) in Bindura. I know where he is now, people will lose their money, being promised fake jobs, among many other things. I don’t even know how he got promoted to a diplomatic post. But please help me warn the world about this fraudulent monster and help those looking for him to locate him and bring him to justice. He ripped off so many people of their hard-earned money, especially considering the difficult situation in Zimbabwe. If you put out a post about him, you’ll see how the comment section will blow up. Many people who came looking for him said he used his position to intimidate them from reporting him. No one should be above the law, especially when it comes to defrauding people like he did.”
