Dealer sells vehicle twice

Herald Reporter 

WORLD Class Motors director George Mpala was dragged to court over the weekend charged with theft of trust property involving US$6 000.

Mpala appeared before Harare regional magistrate Letwin Rwodzi who released him on US$200 bail pending trial. 

According to the State on August 23, 2019, Mpala sold two car bodies being a Toyota Land Cruiser and a Toyota Alex to the complainant Trymore Simango.

Simango was issued with receipts for the two vehicles.

Simango is said to have towed away the Toyota Alex and left the Land Cruiser in Mpala’s custody which Mpala went on to sell to Abraham Antonio on February 8, 2020, without Simango’s consent. 

Sometime in November last year, Simango approached Mpala intending to collect his car which he failed to release, leading to his arrest. 

The vehicle is yet to be recovered.

Kelvin Munyimi appeared for the State.
