Technology / SoftwareMechanic sells client’s wheels to pay rent!by Staff reporter08 Aug 2025 at 08:52hrs |0ViewsA Bulawayo mechanic, Mukanwa Mathe (33) of Thorngrove, found himself in trouble with the law after selling a client’s set of wheels for US$680 and vanishing with the money.Mathe appeared before Tredgold Magistrate Maxwell Ncube, who fined him US$300. Should he fail to pay the fine, he faces three months imprisonment. Additionally, Mathe was ordered to reimburse the full value of the wheels, amounting to US$680.Court proceedings revealed that in June, Mathe received four complete wheels, size 195/14 pro, from Gibson Sithole, who had brought them in for repairs.
Instead of completing the job, Mathe sold the wheels without permission and disappeared.Prosecutor Mehluli Ndlovu told the court that Mathe used the proceeds to pay personal expenses such as rent and bills.”Mathe claimed he intended to repay the complainant once he had the money, but things didn’t go according to plan,” Ndlovu said.Unfortunately for Sithole, none of the wheels have been recovered, leaving him out of pocket.Mathe’s attempts to evade responsibility ultimately failed as the law caught up with him.Source – B-MetroMore on:#Court,#Brazen,#RobberyJoin the discussionLoading comments…Enable JavaScript to view comments.Live UpdatesGet the Daily DigestSubscribeSubscribe to the Daily DigestMust ReadMan dies in bicycle accident33 mins ago |42 ViewsRelegation-threatened Bosso players boycott training34 mins ago |25 ViewsPavillon bus involved in a serious accident35 mins ago |46 ViewsTragedy in Mt Darwin as cow falls into well, killing young woman42 mins ago |66 ViewsZimbabwe announces strict enforcement of axle load limits44 mins ago |51 ViewsZanu-Pf, Eureka Mine unleash violence on artisinal miners53 mins ago |53 ViewsChurch Leaders Unite to Tackle Africa’s Social Crises at Landmark Summit1 hr ago |35 ViewsMinister to Lead Sanitation Awareness Drive in Guruve Amid Open Defecation Concerns*1 hr ago |46 ViewsBCC launch blitz on traffic laws violator5 hrs ago |209 ViewsGray Hair: Nature’s Warning Signal or Cancer Shield?7 hrs ago |518 Views’Power cut at Parly during SONA was deliberate’10 hrs ago |1572 ViewsMPs Push for Service Charge Relief for Elderly Amid Lack of National Policy12 hrs ago |305 ViewsZimbabwean agitator deported from Tanzania14 hrs ago |1416 ViewsZimbabwean national arrested in Khayelitsha14 hrs ago |948 ViewsPush for unity among Ndebele Royal claimants14 hrs ago |741 ViewsHerentals to play 3 home games behind closed doors14 hrs ago |289 ViewsZimbabwe to give Zambia more water at Kariba14 hrs ago |469 ViewsZRP disciplines cops over viral video14 hrs ago |1632 ViewsMatobo rocked by corrupt and dubious land grab14 hrs ago |431 ViewsMnangagwa launches AI-powered smart silos in Mutare14 hrs ago |161 ViewsNo justification for bread price increases14 hrs ago |346 ViewsTeen girl raped twice by cousin during babysitting sleepover21 hrs ago |790 ViewsTeen remanded over blanket, shoe theft21 hrs ago |314 ViewsBulawayo hits Starlink capacity22 hrs ago |537 ViewsHerdsman jailed for sleeping with schoolgirl22 hrs ago |616 ViewsMandaza was left visibly shaken as Biti, Sikhala, Ngarivhume fled22 hrs ago |1918 ViewsTelecel Zimbabwe enters voluntary corporate rescue22 hrs ago |283 ViewsZimbabwe warns foreign investors against labour law violations22 hrs ago |192 ViewsCourt dismisses Zinasu students’ appeal22 hrs ago |168 ViewsMPs Demand Relief for Elderly on Local Authority Charges Amid Lack of National Policy29 Oct 2025 at 17:42hrs |202 ViewsToday’s Most ReadMandaza was left visibly shaken as Biti, Sikhala, Ngarivhume fled22 hrs ago |1918 ViewsZRP disciplines cops over viral video14 hrs ago |1632 Views’Power cut at Parly during SONA was deliberate’10 hrs ago |1572 ViewsZimbabwean agitator deported from Tanzania14 hrs ago |1416 ViewsZimbabwean national arrested in Khayelitsha14 hrs ago |948 ViewsMliswa likens Tagwirei to Chamisa29 Oct 2025 at 07:22hrs |2805 ViewsPush for unity among Ndebele Royal claimants14 hrs ago |741 ViewsTeen girl raped twice by cousin during babysitting sleepover21 hrs ago |790 ViewsGray Hair: Nature’s Warning Signal or Cancer Shield?7 hrs ago |518 ViewsHerdsman jailed for sleeping with schoolgirl22 hrs ago |616 ViewsRead All Our Latest News
