DETECTIVES from CID Police Anti – Corruption Unit (PACU) last Friday picked up Mutare tax consultant, Daniel Mahonye, also known as Daniel Moyana on forgery charges relating to Joubert Mining (Pvt) Ltd.
The case was recorded under Reference Number, ZRP Mutare Central CR 33/10/25, and is being handled at CID Police Antt – Corruption Unit based at CID Headquarters in Harare.
Mahonye who was locked up at ZRP Mutare Central from Friday night, and was arraigned before the courts on Monday.
He was released by Mutare District Public Prosecutor, Mr Tirivanhu Mutyasira to appear at Rotten Row Court in Harare.
He is being represented by Mutare lawyers, Mr Farai Matinhure of Gonese and Ndlovu Legal Practitioners and Mr Innocent Mandikate of Mugadza, Chinzamba and Partners respectively.
Allegations are that Mahonye (Moyana) was hired by Mr Andries Hendrick Joubert to provide tax consultancy to his company, Joubert Crushers and Transport (Pvt) Ltd, and register Joubert Mining Company in 2013, but later on went on to fraudulently remove Mr Joubert, his wife and children from the company on the basis that he had sold the company shares to him and his wife, Selina Mahonye, now known as Selina Moyana.
It is further alleged that Mahonye filed company papers with forged signatures of directors of Mr Joubert, Mrs Annie Joubert, Mr Andreas Joubert (Jnr) and Mr John Usanga with the Registrar of Companies, alleging that those signatures were genuine signatures of the directors.
The offence came to light when Mahonye turned at Sheerluck Mine in Fern Valley, Mutare, popularly known as Joubert Crushers in March 2025, armed with a High Court order declaring that he and his wife were now the sole directors of the company, and that Mr Joubert and his family had been removed as directors.
It is alleged that he sought to remove Mr Joubert and his family from the mine, claiming he now owned the mine and even sought to appoint a new mine manger.
However, his efforts hit a brick wall when it turned out that the mine was actually registered in Mr Joubert’s name and not that of the company, and he thus, could not operate the mine or appoint mine managers.
Mahonye allegedly temporarily took control of the mine, and sealed access to it before Mr Joubert approached the High Court and secured an order stopping Mahonye from barring him access into his mine.
