Some of the investors have already reported to the police while others have taken it upon themselves to recover their money.

In some bizarre incidents, a benefactor was forced to remove and sell his roofing material to pay back investors, while others sold their household property to pay back angry investors.

Part of the message that was seen by the NewsDay reads: “Let’s take advantage of this lockdown period to make money in the comfort of our homes. Join Money Crew today. With as little as $13 or R200 as a joining fee, you will get R7 200. All you need is to recruit two people after joining. Just inbox me for more information on how the scheme works.”

Maharaja played down the commotion caused by the scheme saying his groups were running smoothly.

He went on to implicate various people who were running the other schemes that included a prominent doctor, businesspeople, and eight nurses at Chiredzi General Hospital.

“This scheme has been running for some time now and involves various prominent people in Chiredzi including doctors, nurses, and business people. Although other groups have problems; my groups do not have any problems,” he said.

However, one investor, who preferred not to be named, said they had invested a lot of money in the scheme and were in the process of recovering their money.

“We thought this was a genuine scheme because the councilor was involved, but we are now having a hard time to recover our money,” she said.

Masvingo provincial police spokesperson Chief Inspector Charity Mazula could not be reached for comment as she was said to be out office on campaigns.
