Munashe Terera, a young man who presented himself as an orphan in dire need of financial assistance to fund his education, has come under fire for allegedly misusing over $2,000 provided by a well-wisher. Terera claimed he needed funds for university tuition, accommodation, and basic supplies, yet evidence has emerged showing that he used the money for personal gain instead of paying his school fees.
According to messages shared by the well-wisher, Terera initially detailed his supposed needs, requesting $725 for tuition, $240 for accommodation per semester, $250-300 for a laptop, $50 for monthly food expenses, and other necessities such as blankets and bus fare. Moved by his plight, the well-wisher transferred over $2,000, trusting that the money would enable Terera to enroll at university and continue his studies.
However, instead of paying his fees, Terera reportedly spent the funds on personal expenses. In one instance, he even blocked the well-wisher on social media to avoid accountability. The well-wisher later uncovered that Terera had fabricated parts of his story, including presenting himself as an orphan, to garner sympathy and financial support.
Further scrutiny of his actions revealed inconsistencies, such as a failure to provide proof of payment for tuition and an alleged refusal to communicate transparently. While Terera claimed to have enrolled at the institution, the university confirmed that his fees were not paid, leaving his academic status questionable
Terera has been arrested and in police custody
