inDrive Taxi Driver Found Guilty Of Kidnapping Passenger

Talent Mhembere, a 33-year-old taxi driver from Harare, has been convicted of kidnapping Faith Gwena, a 28-year-old woman from Braeside, reported NewsDay.

During the trial, Mhembere denied the charges, but Magistrate Lisa Mutendereki ruled that the evidence against him was clear.

The court heard that on November 19, 2024, Gwena booked an inDrive taxi for a trip from Fife Avenue to Riverside Walk, Avondale, costing US$2.50. Mhembere arrived in a white Nissan Expert and drove her to her destination.

When they arrived, Gwena tried to pay with a US$10 bill, but Mhembere claimed he didn’t have change. Gwena offered to pay using EcoCash by Mhembere insisted on cash.

Then, without warning, Mhembere locked the doors of his car and sped off towards King George Road.

As they passed Total Service Station in Avondale, Gwena screamed for help, and a passerby attempted to block the taxi. However, Mhembere manoeuvred his car, turned into King George Road, and drove further north.

Near the Engine Service Station, Mhembere made a phone call to a person named Purazi, who instructed him to drive to Avondale Police Station.

Once there, Purazi demanded money from Gwena, who gave him US$10. He threw US$7 in change on the ground before they drove off.

Gwena later reported the incident to the police, leading to Mhembere’s arrest. He is now waiting for sentencing.

I always say let's use our own local application here in Zim, they have offices and in this case I'm sure the company responsible for transportation should also get involved, but we use Indrive yet we don't even know where their offices are 😏 yet we have Handei, Hwindi and others muno medu shame.

Kidnapping is the crime of taking someone against their will, so technically he kidnapped her hence the judgement and I don't suppose we would know better than people who have trained in law for years.
