The Broadhurst Magistrates Court has remanded a Mogoditshane car dealer who allegedly swindled P300,000 from customers in custody.

Effort Enerst Mutangi (30), whose nationality was not disclosed, is at the centre of a P367, 953 car scam. He is the Director of Mogoditshane-based Gwenhamo Holdings which deals in imported second hand cars. Mutangi was brought before Magistrate Haiwu Nuru to answer to 12 counts of obtaining by false pretences. Mutangi is alleged to have swindled P300,000 from 11 people on different occasions in Gaborone spanning from August 2009 to April this year, claiming that he was going to buy them cars in Durban, South Africa and overseas.

Mutangi is alleged to have defrauded Gofaone Mbikiwa of about P30,300 claiming that he was going to purchase a Toyota Fortuner for him. On the second count, he is alleged to have defrauded the same Mbikiwa of P20,200 on September 2009 for clearing the said Toyota Fortuner.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
