Genius Controversy
Once he made headlines when it was revealed that he had been looking after another man’s child for the past 11 years. This came to light after one Doreen Mutukwa demanded an upward review of maintenance fees to $1,500. This led to Genius demanding a paternity test and the outcome showed that Kadungure was not the father of the child.
In February 2018 Ginimbi dismissed claims that he owed R340 000 to South African based businessman Mutumwa Mawere. The two had a huge falling out where harsh words were exchanged on social media. Fellow Zim entrepreneur, Wicknell Chivayo came out and accussed Ginimbi of having a ‘ghetto mentality’. He said that Ginimbi could not compare himself to Mawere, a renowned businessman. He insinuated that Kadungure was a “fuel smuggler.”
There’s also been allegations of tax evasion his company Piko Trading (Private) Limited at that it misrepresented sales it has made to the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA). This was the period between 2009 – 2016. Zimra recorded to have suffered huge losses because of Ginimbi’s tax evasion.
As if his arrests had stopped, just recently Genius Kadungure was in prison after being arrested for what has been described as “Import Fraud”. The arrest in question is connected to the expensive Bentley he purchased from South Africa and illegally imported to Zimbabwe without paying the necessary customs fees.
A Flamboyant Harare born, but American based prophet Passion Java took some time and dissed Ginimbi. He posted a video on his social media official pages in which he alluded that people should not compare him Ginimbi as he comes from the rural areas. Rural or not, If you have the Ginimbi money you made it.
However, it seems the two were able to bury the hatchet and move on with their lives. They were later on spotted together having a good time.
