ZimTrade, the national trade development and promotion organization of Zimbabwe, has issued a public advisory alerting citizens to the emergence of fraudulent social media pages and groups impersonating both the organization and its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Allan T. Majuru.
A particular entity, operating under the name “Zimbabwean Pride Trading” on platforms such as Facebook and WhatsApp, is falsely representing itself as ZimTrade. These fraudulent accounts are soliciting money from unsuspecting individuals under the guise of a profit-making program.
ZimTrade categorically states that it has no affiliation with these pages, groups, or any content they generate. These deceptive activities are designed to mislead the public, and ZimTrade urges everyone to exercise extreme caution when engaging with such online platforms.
The organization strongly advises the public to refrain from interacting with these pages, sharing personal or financial information, or sending money to individuals claiming to represent ZimTrade in unauthorized schemes.
ZimTrade is actively working with the relevant authorities to identify and bring to justice those responsible for these fraudulent activities. Any individual who is contacted by persons or groups claiming to represent ZimTrade in this manner is urged to report the interaction immediately to the nearest police station or through ZimTrade’s official communication channels.
For verified information and assistance, the public is encouraged to contact ZimTrade via its official platforms:
