Douglas Chinoona, a young man from Dulibadzimu, Beitbridge, suffered a significant setback when he lost both his lobola savings and a rented vehicle while staying overnight at a lodge in Harare.
Chinoona had secured US$2,400, which he left inside a white Toyota GD6 (registration AGE 4106) parked at a lodge in Mabelreign. He had booked the lodge for a single night as a stopover en route to Murehwa for his lobola ceremony.

The vehicle, rented from Good To Go Car Rental at the intersection of Nemakonde and Harare Drive and owned by Lawrence Mangenje, was taken under unexpected circumstances. Early in the morning, a lodge staff member woke Chinoona, informing him that two men had arrived with keys and claimed they had been authorized by the car rental company to retrieve the vehicle.
