Zanu Pf’s Dexter Nduna Remanded In Custody For Illegally Collecting Parking Fees

Dexter Nduna, a former member of parliament (MP) for Chegutu West and senior member of the ruling Zanu Pf has been brought before the courts on allegations that he unlawfully collected parking fees from motorists in Chegutu.

The 53-year-old politician was charged with fraud when he appeared in court on Tuesday at Chegutu Magistrates Court, and his request for bail was denied.

He was placed under routine remand in custody until October 29, 2024.

Prosecutor Tafadzwa Vhore is leading the State’s case, which alleges that the former lawmaker misled drivers by claiming that Team Chapter, a business connected to him, was now in charge of collecting parking fees in the Mashonaland West town and other locations across the nation.

Prosecutors argue Nduna acted unlawfully.

The controversial Nduna was recently mired in yet another controversy, after claiming to have graduated with a Law degree at the University of Zimbabwe. He was forced to write a letter of apology to the institution and its Chancellor, President Mnangagwa, after it was revealed that he had failed several modules and thus didn’t make the cut for graduation.

Nduna had appeared at the graduation ceremony adorned in a graduation gown and emblazoned with a huge smile on his face.
