By Investigations Reporter | ZimEye | When 57 year old Jennifer Banyure, a Zimbabwean child trafficker accused by ex husbands for allegedly poisoning them, turned up to meet a hacker to corrupt Gatwick Airport’s database on 26 Aug 2024, she thought no one would discover her scheme to deceive UK’s courts.
The follower of the journalist, Hopewell Chin’ono’s who like him, changed her own name in 2001, and this year on 26 August had engaged a computer hacker to help delete her 2nd immigration record from Gatwick Airport databases, has lost a million pound court case after it was proven she is a fugitive from justice who has traversed UK’s airports on multiple times under different identities.
Jennifer Banyure on the afternoon of the 26th Aug 2024 drove to St James Hotel in Nottingham, UK where she arranged for the hacking of Gatwick Airport’s immigration databases to be completed on the day, right there on the building’s second floor area. The visit and the operation were captured on video.
How Jennifer has for over a quarter of a century repeatedly defeated UK’s immigration system, trafficked a minor, and even fraudulently acquired UK citizenship, is explained by other events such as the raping of 3 teenagers seen entering a Birmingham hotel on 9 Sept 2024.
Her operations are revealed in the Hopewell-Syndicate-Series exposing her gang that with the help of some UK embassy officials has spent the last 28 years (1996-2024) trafficking children across UK’s airports, laundering dirty money, and has grown in power to the point of compromising several governments. Two men are studied: a music promoter nicknamed, “Kaycee” who is Kudzaishe Chipadza, and a prominent award winning journalist by name Hopewell Chin’ono who announces himself to the online community as a “Daddy” character.
The following month, while acting on Chin’ono’s assurances that suggest it will never be discovered that she is a fugitive from justice executing another injustice, Jennifer Banyure later turned up at a Derby County Court hearing on the 5th Sept 2024 hoping to claim a share from a million pound estate owned by her short-marriage ex husband who she had cohabited with for 14 months in the period up to April 2023. (In her application she had managed to stitch up a four year paperwork base from the time of dating so it reads like they had cohabited for a longer period.)
During the Sept 5 hearing, she was within minutes slapped with an identity fraud case connected to her 2001 Gatwick Airport entry, as another person, Linda Munjanja.
Responding to it and in a sudden u-turn, she swiftly dropped her application to obtain her ex husband’s property, and opted for an out of court settlement with which she pleaded with him that the identity fraud case be dropped at least within the divorce proceedings.
The final divorce settlement that’s devoid of any sharing of her husband’s property has since been concluded and ruled on by District Judge Pittman who declared on 20 Oct 2024 stating as follows:
“IT IS ORDERED BY CONSENT:
Clean break: capital and income – Applicant
1Except as provided for in this order, the Applicant’s claims for secured periodical payments orders, periodical payments orders, lump sum orders, property adjustment orders, pension sharing orders and pension attachment orders shall be dismissed and she shall not be entitled to.”
Meanwhile, Jennifer Banyure has in the last 26 years, criss crossed UK’s airports under different names. Around July 2001, she entered Britain via Gatwick Airport under a totally different name, Linda Munjanja with a different date of birth. She also trafficked a 6 year old child into the UK on that day.
In 2016, her citizenship application was declined under her other name, Jennifer Banyure.
That is when she hatched a plan to marry a British citizen.
She later obtained British citizenship under her ex husband’s surname, in circumstances that reflect further weaknesses in the Home Office’s database management systems, over a decade after its GUI systems were upgraded.
Although having succeeded in becoming a UK citizen, her struggle has been over her Gatwick Airport entry record from back in 2001 when she as a fugitive from justice changed her name like many others of her compatriots, and flew back into UK with a 6 year old child she trafficked.
Her text messages with the “hacker” an undercover investigative journalist, reflect that she was acting on the strength of assurances by the activist Hopewell Chin’ono who says a mere letter from British embassy staff members is a valid criminal records check that insulates its holder from fraud investigations. She also relies on Hopewell Chin’ono’s 29 April 2024 posts over the deportation of the Emmerson Mnangagwa’s deejay and a self confessing human trafficker Kaycee Kudzaishe Chipadza’s girlfriend Felistas Murata, which more directly instruct her (Banyure) and other followers to carry out airport-security-sabotage operations that involve secretive movements plus isolating and victimising immigration whistleblowers.
In the text messages, Hopewell Chin’ono is also referred to as her friend.
Contrary to the journalist, Hopewell Chin’ono’s claims, recent expose’s of the ZANU PF DJ Kaycee, Kudzaishe Chipadza, reveal that UK Embassy letters are as late as 2024, actually being utilised to execute disturbing wrongdoings such as human trafficking of sex victims into the UK. Kaycie has admitted obtaining sexual pleasures from a teenager he smuggled from South Africa on 27 October 2023 with the help of two British embassy officials, based in Sandton, South Africa.
The development suggests that while technology has been upgraded and deployed; 23 years later, fraudsters have only gotten smarter than they were back in 2001 when Chin’ono and Banyure changed names. In 2001 the technology wasn’t there. In 2024 the situation has gotten worse, for it’s the honest-human-infrastructure that is now lacking for which reason, frauds through signatures of embassy staff members, can now be permanently obfuscated, so to facilitate for instance, the most frightening sex trafficking of females into UK.
Even crimes committed on UK soil can be covered up using a UK embassy staff member’s endorsement. 4 years ago, an NHS practitioner, Grace Mupfurutsa blew the whistle on Hopewell Chin’ono over alleged credit card frauds, similar to those Chipadza has been implicated in.
Jennifer Banyure is one of many foreigners who took advantage of UK’s weak database systems during the period 2001 and 2008 before Britain’s fingerprinting and DNA systems had been upgraded, and when it was impossible for British law enforcement to execute competent criminal records checks on foreigners.
When she went to court on 5 Sept 2024, Banyure was relying on the assurances by the journalist Hopewell Chin’ono, who in a spaces broadcast had claimed a British embassy staff member declares stating “Hopewell Chin’ono (who changed his name from Mukusha) is not a fugitive from justice.” (Hopewell Chin’ono also as in his 29 April 2024 posts, more directly instructs his social media followers to carry out airport security sabotage operations that involve isolating and victimising immigration whistleblowers.)
The embassy staff member’s letter which Chin’ono utilised has no such wording, albeit saying the embassy is not aware of outstanding issues between Mr Chin’ono and British authorities. The letter does not say anything further than that.
Like in Chin’ono’s case, and until the day Jennifer Banyure had travelled to the Nottingham hotel to try and delete her Gatwick Airport passport records, British authorities had no immediately accessible trace of Jennifer Banyure’s wrongdoings from the 2001 -8 period, the time when Mr Chin’ono also changed his own name, and many of his friends Mr. Joseph Mhaka got arrested and got convicted for serious money laundering crimes.
”I was trained by Hopewell Mukusha and we would be told to go into care homes and pluck out blank cheques belonging to service users; Hopewelll abandoned us to be jailed in 2002, I am very bitter,” a female ex convict tells ZimEye.
She also describes her stay in the UK after getting allegedly groomed by Mr Hopewell Chin’ono expressing resentment over being abandoned by him after they had both cashed stolen cheques in her early twenties.
She candidly states, “I once went to prison… I used to rob banks. I came to the UK and robbed banks… who didn’t rob? Who didn’t get arrested?” She criticizes those dredging up her 2002 arrests in 2024 and questions the righteousness of her accusers, mentioning the prevalence of COS fraud.
Meanwhile, a group of journalists investigated Jennifer Banyure after it emerged she has trafficked at least one child. It was also after medical allegations corroborated with claims by two of her ex husbands in the last 25 year period who allege that during their cohabiting days they would occasionally wake up from sleep at morning time to complain of suspicious injections on their bodies.
“My friend you must thank God that you are alive, I suffered the same prickings!,” Banyure’s ex husband only identified as Mr Jackson from 1999, told the latest ex husband this year.
Banyure was contacted for a comment in writing and via phone, and briefly spoke back before putting her phone down and then blocking communications after being asked to comment. She has had over 2 months to comment.
Mr Hopewell Chin’ono has been contacted on many times and his response has variated from accusing auditors of being paid by the ZANU PF party, to announcing that auditors including his own employer Geoff Nyarota inquiring of him are financial failures in life and that they are being motivated by hate. He has also responded by contradicting his earlier claims that he purchased his first home using no foreign cash but a Zimbabwe based mortgage from the govt aligned CABS bank in 2001. His latest claims have been a full declaration by him that his first home was purchased rather using British proceeds of £50,000 cash obtained from a non existent British sportscar lender back in 1996.
Asked for the name of the UK dealership or bank he says gave him the £50,000 credit facility he says shot him into the property ladder, his reply is that those asking him are doing so just because they hate him.
After admitting that of a truth he did change his name in 2001 like Jennifer Banyure, Chin’ono stresses in defence saying the UK embassy announced in a letter stating that “Hopewell Chin’ono is not a fugitive from justice.” The letter he produces has no such wording, and if it did, it would still not be a valid CRB or a DBS document and, if it was any of these, the embassy would have had no capacity of accessing fingerprint databases for immigrants who entered UK before 2008, as the technology was not there.
It is Mr Hopewell Chin’ono‘s attitude on the welfare of abused underage children that tells a deeper story following serious accusations that he interfered with a Scottish court case that’s prosecuting over the abuse of under-age children in 2014. Chin’ono’s behaviour rings similar to that of Kaycee. Responding to a report that he used his journalism badge to try and groom the main complainant in the trial of a suspect, Mr Hopewell Chin’ono is mum, and over complainants that he is a Daddy character who is himself using the internet to groom women, he accuses NHS practitioner Grace Mupfurutsa of being sent by the ZANU PF political party to a media outfit called Gambakwe Media to record her video on 18 Aug 2020. Timestamps however prove that Mupfurutsa never went to the media outfit; her Facebook LIVE videos shot the previous day was cropped out and segmented the following day by the media outfit for the news.
Mr (Kaycie) Kudzaishe Chipadza has commented saying the South African teenager he trafficked into the UK with the help of two British embassy staff members on 27 October 2023, is not a child, so he should not be suspected of sexually assaulting her.
One of the British embassy officials, only identified under the title, Chichi, who processed the 19 year old teen’s visa in 2023, was contacted by ZimEye on Thursday 24 October in a sting phone call and he briefly communicated as follows-
ZimEye: Chichi, I need a visa to the UK.
Chichi: When do you need to travel?
ZimEye: As soon as possible.
Chichi: Okay.
ZimEye: I got referred to you by Kaycie.
Chichi: [PHONE CUT]
Efforts to obtain a news comment from Chichi following the call have failed.
Jennifer Banyure has been given more time to respond to the allegations of poisoning her two ex husband’s who’ve corroborated their allegations from events between 1999-2024.
A Harare Embassy staffer promised that they would provide comment within a week, but is still to do it several months later.
Hold onto your hats, because things are about to get hotter, In the shadowy underbelly of Hopewell’s notorious gang, a chilling message has surfaced.
The enigmatic leader, Hopewell himself, has issued a grave warning to his followers. Beware of Simba Chikanza, he declares, his voice laced with urgency and dread. He’s on a mission, and he’s playing for keeps. Just after one of the syndicates, Felistas Murata, was caught in the act at Heathrow Airport, Hopewell blames Chikanza for it and blasts a warning. (Simba Chikanza is the original and lead investigator of Al Jazeeera’s 7 year researched GoldMafia documentary whose findings are the basis of the latest US and UK sanctions law.)
Between April 29, 2024, and August 26th of the same year, something rather peculiar is brewing on social media.
It is led by none other than Hopewell Chin’ono, an award-journalism figure who, since April, is advising close to a million of his followers to engage in airport data sabotage operations.
His instructions? To conceal any arrestable offenses and avoid people who might get them deported.
He’s specifically warned his followers to stay away from people vanodepotesana—he calls them “jealous” individuals who might turn them in to the UK Border Force for deportation.
If a genuine concern existed that the accused UK Border Force moles truly engage in false-reporting, Chin’ono would have used his journalism tools or at least the social media following he powerfully commands, to lobby against the moles over false reporting. But no, his lobbying is of a different kind. He is rather preoccupied with commanding his followers to sabotage airport security data through information blackouts and organised secretive movements. The followers take everything as Biblical truth uttered by their “Daddy.”
But why would so many educated people follow these instructions without questioning the Daddy character? And what is Chin’ono really feeding the hundreds of thousands of followers like Kaycee and Banyure on social media, that gives them confidence to execute immigration sabotage operations as late as 2024 so to beat sophisticated biometric technology set up at UK’s airports? Is he feeding them journalism?
“But Hopewell apawo handione kuti vanhu vatadza chii. Immigration ndouangoita basa rayo chete. Ende haaa munhu iyeye atori worse kapfuura nyika yese🤦🏿♀️,” writes one Hither Mpofu.
“Hither Mpofu it was a fraud issue that immigration detected at Heathrow, Hopewell, nothing to do with Simba,” adds Mandla Mpofu.
He adds saying, “Ti’s too clear us it not that Mai Ts Diaries got herself in trouble by for instance carrying all those medical goods through Heathrow that are illegal in UK, and that are so visible even at RGM or ORTambo, she would have been arrested, so why do you blame Simba Chikanza for this clear case of a serial convict are you confirming you’re working with Mai Titi Hopewell Chin’ono ?
“Please explain what we are missing here Hopewell cause you’re rallying citizens so they fight to protect Kaycee’s girlfriend Felistas Murata and other offenders from UKBA,” he adds.
A 2021 investigation by his former employer Geoff Nyarota provides some intriguing clues.
The investigation gives hint that Chin’ono is practicing something else beyond journalism; something in the region of “materialism.” The news analysis report, titled, “journalism rarely generates excessive wealth,” published on the leading independent paper, Newsday website leads us to a large farm of data. This data is critical to test the accuracy of the employer’s findings. Even though the former employer is the best investigative journalist of all time with multiple awards, data is needed to assess the findings.
An extraction of Hopewell Chin’ono’s entire cache of online conversations in the period 2009 to 2024, which takes several days to execute, reveals data columns that seem consistent with findings by Chin’ono’s employer. The five columns are standing out after the extraction suggesting that-
Chin’ono is practicing 5 professions at the same time: Moneysm, the most dominant of them all-Daddysm, Militarism, Activism, and Journalism, the latter which is less than 1% fraction of the chunk.
The data suggests, Chin’ono is juggling five distinct roles at the same time- Moneysm, Daddysm, Militarism, Activism, and, of course, Journalism. Let’s break these down.
First, Moneysm or Materialism, where the focus is on accumulating wealth, often sidestepping moral boundaries. Chin’ono teaches his family of followers that they must not ask him any critical questions or call him to a debate with a lawyer because they are still to buy a house. He is a superman who should not be questioned even over the identity of the financier of the UK money £50,000 he says he used to buy his first home, which claim he contradicts himself saying no UK funds were used at all, it was all a Zimbabwe bank mortgage.
Next, Daddysm—a term used for male characters who cultivate a dominant, almost cult-like persona to manipulate their followers, often for personal gratification. It’s been found to be effective in manipulating sex victims in various rape cases, including one Chin’ono is accused of interfering in, in Scotland in 2014.
Chin’ono even adopted the Daddy moniker. Then, there’s Militarism.
This involves advocating for extreme measures, including military intervention against political opponents.
Chin’ono has advised the Zimbabwean Minister of Defence to use the army to suppress political expressions.
Following a meeting called up by Chin’ono, to fight off UN findings in the 2018 to 2019 period, his advice to the ministry of Defence, in the attempt to force the publisher Simba Chikanza to accept the military’s and Chin’ono’s imposition that the Chamisa led civil society are being corrupted with money and are the ones causing tension with the army. This imposition to try and make Chikanza consent to the military ministry’s false claim that Chamisa’s civil society are the ones who are shooting protesters, has led to President Emmerson Mnangagwa building the confidence to pursue torture victims at their doctors and lawyers, operations that have eventually caused opposition leader Nelson Chamisa to resign from his own party.
Writing in public, Chin’ono admits advising the Minister Of Defence that he should accuse the civil society of causing tension with the army.
It is this militarism that by the 26th Aug 2024 has enabled Chin’ono to later boast that he is assembling something more powerful than both Nelson Chamisa and Emmerson Mnangagwa, such that he can now set up a political institution, a government in exile that according to his public boasts, is supported by many Hopewell stationed inside the British and French Parliaments, and even the United Nations, as he announces it on the same day Banyure plans to go and sabotage Gatwick Airport records.
Searching Chin’ono’s public messages’ data, a repeating string of words flashes up; an algorithm is spotted popping out for several years since the 28th May 2020, when Chin’ono first suggested that he is the Daddy character who can fix all his country’s problems regarding corruption and political collapse. The string “the opposition will do nothing” is seen popping out on his Twitter account for 3 years running, in a suspicious fashion that seems too facilitatory for someone’s resume’ as Chin’ono later gets arrested by the same military government he is assisting to destroy the opposition and he is slapped with a dismissible police case titled “incitement to violence.” The timing of his many arrests that turn him into a persecuted anti corruption hero, while he remains engaged in military level corruption on behalf of the ministry of Defence in the same period 2018 up to his public statements on 5 July 2023 is curious, such that he is asked to prove that he is not a double agent disguised as a journalist.
Meanwhile, in a continuous 3 year running period, the “do nothing” text keeps popping out of his tweets right up to the day 14th April 2023, when while appearing as if he is criticising the Mnangagwa regime over the GoldMafia scandal, Google records a sharp collapse in search-interest for Africa’s most explosive investigation on election rigging gold smuggling. Working as a double agent, Chin’ono has achieved super Daddy status, and he has proven he can now easily crash news interest with a single tweet. Google records this achievement of powerful militarism.
The last role: Journalism, seems to be a subsidiary of the first three, making it a weak branch of the 3 corrupt roles rather than being a stand alone function serving the public good.
Journalism appears to be just a small fraction of his activities—less than 1%, as reflected in the extracted data.
These five roles paint a picture of a man with significant influence, if not total control over the minds of followers.
He’s more than just a journalist; he’s a super human, wielding the Daddy title akin to Puff Daddy in the U.S. or such Daddy characters.
Take the case of Jennifer Banyure.
On August 26, 2024, convinced by the impunity Chin’ono has demonstrated over the years, she is travelling to get her identity deleted from Gatwick Airport’s database.
She engages a hacker she arranges to meet in a Nottingham hotel, believing she is untouchable under Chin’ono’s guidance.
How Banyure follows Hopewell Chin’ono’s advice could reflect it either as clean objective journalistic commentary that the receiver can question with an open mind or as something else that is more powerful, possessive and abusive.
In the days running up to this meeting, her text messages with the hacker are totally void of any precaution or independent thinking that can critique Chin’ono’s propositions.
She is totally convinced that sabotaging Gatwick Airport’s databases is the best way to fix her identity fraud problem. Through this, she will be able to enter court in September without fear of being disqualified, exactly the same way Kaycee is planning another trafficking operation across Birmingham Airport which a victim reveals he is already working on. Like Chin’ono advised in writing be done, Banyure makes sure no one else knows except herself- she will only reveal her movements after crossing over to the other side of Gatwick Airport’s operations where she will never be discovered that she has two identities.
It is this influence that on this day Jennifer Banyure drives all the way to Nottingham’s St James Hotel; and here she is:
Hacker: So that’s the server, that we have access to inside the server. That’s why.
If you can come to a different angle.
So these are the documents classified so what you need to do is possibly, take a picture; aah good I was worried where is Jenny? Where is Jenny all along?
You don’t have to worry about anything.
Jennifer: I am so ignorant I don’t even know [the technicals of all this] what I have no idea.
Hacker: You don’t have to worry about anything. Take this one. I’m going to need to shred it.
So how is everyone?
Jennifer: Yeah, we are doing fine
You’re doing fine
Yeah, we are doing fine.
Hacker: You live in Derby; the good thing about Derby is it’s not too far.
Jennifer: No no no no. It’s actually that I came round and I was actually; the lady there said to me oh is this the hotel? I saw so many hotels the other side. So I went to that side.
Hacker: and then the other issue is are there not other things inside the database, like there is a child inside?
Jennifer: I came here in 1989. I came here a long time ago. I’ve never never used it anywhere never used it.
Hacker: So, there’s nothing else to worry about it’s actually a scored goal. LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH.
