Dynamos Football Club chairman Bernard Marriot Lusengo who is facing fraud allegations after he allocated himself 51% of the club shareholding has come out fighting claiming he has no case to answer.
Lusengo was represented by Hebert Mutasa who was also implicated as the one who aided Lusengo in stealing the shares.
The Dynamos boss submitted his defence outline denying the charges saying he is the only surviving founder member of the club and that in 1999 they incorporated a private company through which Dynamos Football Club would be owned and run.
Lusengo said he denies that any shares were duly allotted to any of the complainants, therefore each of the complainants is put to strict proof of his alleged shareholding.
“In the event that any shares were duly allotted to all or some of the complainants, Lusengo denies that he stole any of those shares as alleged and or at all.”
“The accused denies having misrepresented the extent of his shareholding in Dynamos Football Club (Pvt) Ltd to the Companies Registrar as alleged or at all,” Mutasa submitted.
The complainants are former Dynamos players that include Garikai Zuze, David George, Ernest Kamba, Samson Mukomondo, Bernard Shonhiwa Chidziwa and David Phiri.
Allegations are that on January 26, 2017 and at Registrar of Companies in Harare, Lusengo intentionally and unlawfully misrepresented facts to the Registrar of Companies that he had the mandate and as the owner of 51% ordinary shares in the company Dynamos Foothill Club (Pvt) Ltd when in actual fact the Dynamos Football Club Constitution of 1963 gave him entitlement to only 1 ordinary share.
lt is alleged that when Lusengo made this misrepresentation he intended to deceive the Registrar of Companies and intended same to act on this misrepresentation to the prejudice of the complainants.
