They seek justice in local courts and vow to go to international courts if needed.
They accuse Magaya of using his church and connections to Consul General Musan to swindle them.
They allege that Magaya received the money but didn't fulfil the agreed-upon obligations for a gold mining project.
A group of Israeli businessmen claims to have been swindled out of US$3 million by Walter Magaya, the leader of the Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries (PHD) church in Zimbabwe. The businessmen have warned that if they do not receive justice from the local courts, they will take the matter to international courts. The case is currently before the High Court of Zimbabwe, The Mirror reported.
The businessmen allege that Magaya received the money through Ronny Levi Musan, the Consul General of Zimbabwe in Israel appointed by President Emmerson Mnangagwa. They express shock at the scam and state that it is unheard of in Israel for a man of God to deceive people in the name of God. They said:
We hope that we will get justice in the courts in Zimbabwe; justice that will give other foreign investor confidence that their money is safe and justice that will act as deterrence to would be swindlersIf we do not receive justice, we have all the power and financial capability to sue Magaya in international courts. We will not give up on our honour and on our money in anyway.
Magaya is lying to investors hiding behind the President’s pictures. It’s time for people to realise that not everyone who takes a picture with the President has the integrity of the President.
