ZAOGA FIF Pastor Taken to Court By Friend Over US$80K Loan

According to reports by NewsHawks, Mawoyo borrowed US$80,000 from his friend Benson Maeka on 6 January 2024. The two signed a written agreement outlining the loan terms, and no interest was charged. Mawoyo was supposed to repay the money by a set date, but he failed to do so.

Maeka tried repeatedly to get his money back, even sending demands as late as 26 November 2024, but Mawoyo avoided repayment and allegedly started dodging his friend altogether. Frustrated, Maeka took the matter to court.

Public Reactions Mix Sympathy and Suspicion

The news sparked a range of responses on social media. Some criticised NewsHawks for airing the preacher’s private financial issues, while others shared claims about Mawoyo’s past troubles in the United States. A number of people accused him of evading justice there, particularly related to tax fraud allegations.

Here are some of the comments:

@JimmyMasuku:

Oh, that guy is a thief. He uses that pastor title to swindle people, and he is wanted by the IRS for tax fraud

@MakuvazaUpenyu:

But honestly, zvinei nemi.

@Innocentchikoo1:

@JimmyMasuku:
