Musician Hwindi President Music claims that Tendai Kusosa, a Zimra official, unfairly seized his car despite all his paperwork being in order. He argues that since he legally crossed the border with it, there was no wrongdoing on his part. After filing an appeal, he was ignored for three months, only to be told that his Temporary Import Permit (TIP) had expired. He was then asked to pay nearly $5,000 in fines, storage fees, and duties to reclaim the vehicle, only for it to be allegedly shared among officials.
He insists that the TIP only expired because ZIMRA locked up his car and that if it hadn’t been seized, he would have returned it to South Africa in time. Now, he is left without a vehicle while others drive it, feeling powerless and mistreated. He expresses deep frustration, accuses ZIMRA of injustice, and vows to seek revenge, declaring that the matter is far from over.
Hwindi President wrote the following on his Facebook page:
"Kutogovana zvavo mota yangu? Ko kana yanga isiri kudiwa muno, madii kuipisa zvenyu…?
Zvimwe tingataure zvedu, but tendai kusosa. I will never forget you kusvika ndafa…
Ndiwe wakabvuta mota yangu isina mhosva. Paperwork yese ndakaaita, that's why ndakapinda paborder. Dai ndandisina kukwana, dai ndisina kupinda paborder. Handina kuuya nemusango ini.
I did appeal, you didn't reply me kusvika 3 months dzakwama. Makunditaurira zvekuti T.I.P yaka-expire, and I've to pay $2000 US + $1000 storage and half duty. Then I've to take it back to South Africa, which is close to $5000 US kuti ndikundikane, mobva magovana.
Yes, TIP yaka-expire, but yaka-expire makavharira mota yangu. Dai yanga isina kuvharirwa, hanty ndandashanya? Ingadai yakadzokera kare ku SA.
Now ndakufamba netsoka imi muchidriver mota yangu nyowani… Imhosva here kuti hatina vanotimirirawo? Why muchibata vana vevamwe senhapwa kudaro munyika mavo?
Now yava nemhosva manje? TIP yaka-expire, makuda storage manje ne fine yeTIP? Ko pamakaitora, yaive nemhosva yei besides dzamakutaura ezvino?
Mune hutsinye zvenyu, but mahwindi haakanganwe.
I'm going to do anything to revenge this. I mean anything chandokwanisa.
Hoo, makutoidriver mukufunga zvakapera?
Hakuna zvinhu zvinopera zvakadaro. Hakuna."
