A popular TikTok personality, Caution Madiro Chikonamombe — widely known as Secautions Chikonamombe — has appeared before the Bindura Magistrates’ Court facing a theft charge after allegedly failing to import a vehicle despite receiving full payment from a client.
The 29‑year‑old Harare‑based influencer is accused of misrepresenting his ability to import a Honda Fit GP5 from Japan on behalf of a Bindura client.
According to the State, sometime in February last year, the complainant, Brighton Njekete (27), approached Chikonamombe to inquire about the cost of importing the vehicle. Chikonamombe allegedly quoted US$8 000.
On 5 March last year, Njekete deposited US$3 000 into Chikonamombe’s NMB Bank account as part payment. The court heard that on 24 March 2025, Chikonamombe visited Njekete in Bindura, where the complainant paid the remaining US$5 000 and was issued a receipt.
Chikonamombe reportedly assured Njekete that the vehicle would be delivered by the end of April. However, after the deadline passed, he allegedly began giving excuses and failed to produce the car.
A police report was subsequently filed, leading to his arrest.
The matter is still before the courts.
