Magistrate Winfilder Tiyatara sentenced Jeff Nyamuchengwa to 50 months imprisonment for theft of trust property. The 36-year-old Hatipfeke Junkie owner will avoid jail time after the court suspended a 36-month sentence, contingent on repaying Justice Chembwa $47,000. Officials suspended six additional months for good behavior, while eight months will be served through community service. Nyamuchengwa received the money at Kebab Car Sale on June 7, 2024, when Chembwa deposited $12,920 for safekeeping following an armed robbery at his home. Christine Ngoshi later delivered another $34,118 to Nyamuchengwa that same month.
The total amount reached $47,038, with no written documentation between the parties. Chembwa planned to retrieve his funds on June 10, 2024, but Nyamuchengwa failed to return the money. Three days later, Chembwa learned that Nyamuchengwa had attempted suicide and required hospitalization. The accused then vanished, became unreachable by phone, and moved to an undisclosed location. Police arrested Nyamuchengwa after Chembwa filed a formal complaint.
