Businessman Hires 5 Hitmen from SA to Kill Partner He Owed US$800k

In a remarkable twist of fate, a Harare businessman managed to thwart an assassination plot orchestrated by five South African hitmen, leading to their arrest in the Zimbabwean capital.

Oliver Tatenda Chipindu, the targeted businessman, found himself in the crosshairs of a dangerous scheme after being conned out of a substantial sum of money, amounting to $800,000, by a fraudulent individual named Obrian Obert Mapurisa. Mapurisa’s motive for hiring the hitmen was to eliminate Chipindu, thus absolving himself of the debt owed.

The five hired hitmen, identified as Moses Monde, Malvin Manzinde, Malvin Tatenda Nyamuranga, Norbert Muponda from Johannesburg, and Joshua Mapuranga from Cape Town, were tasked with carrying out the assassination. However, their plans took an unexpected turn when Chipindu learned of the plot and took decisive action.

Chipindu’s proactive approach involved luring the hitmen to Harare, where they were subsequently apprehended by law enforcement authorities. The arrest occurred after Chipindu and an accomplice booked accommodations for the hitmen at a local lodge, where they were then taken into custody by the police.

Upon their arrest, the hitmen’s phones were seized, revealing incriminating conversations with their employer, Obrian Obert Mapurisa. These conversations served as crucial evidence in the ongoing legal proceedings against the perpetrators.

The case has garnered significant attention, highlighting both the dangers of fraudulent activities and the importance of swift and effective law enforcement responses. Chipindu’s quick thinking and collaboration with the authorities not only prevented a tragic loss of life but also resulted in the apprehension of individuals involved in criminal activities across borders.

The hitmen, now facing legal repercussions, are scheduled to appear in court for bail proceedings, marking a crucial step in the pursuit of justice for Chipindu and the broader community affected by such crimes.
