Fraudster ‘Oscar Pambuka’ Jailed 6 Years

Pambuka and former Highfield Member of Parliament Psychology Maziwisa were convicted of fraud last year and were supposed to go to jail for two years and six months each, but instead, “they disappeared.”

Pambuka was this week convicted in another case of fraud and remanded in custody for sentencing, while Maziwisa has not been accounted for and is still on a warrant of arrest.

The courts activated Pambuka’s warrant of arrest following his conviction at Mbare magistrates’ court.

He was yesterday brought before High Court Judge Justice Pisirayi Kwenda for a default inquiry and was committed to prison.

Pambuka and Maziwisa were initially convicted of two counts of fraud and each sentenced to six years and five months in prison.

However, they will only serve two years and six months each after the rest of the term was conditionally suspended.
