Ngoni Mandengu the Harare InDrive Scammer
  • Arrogant personality, and an extremely unreliable InDrive Driver: “never went for pre-arranged vehicle servicing in a timely manner”
  • Weekly payment made on-time to vehicle owner was only approximately 45%
  • Ngonidzaishe Mandengu Crashed the Nissan vehicle given to him and did not pay a cent towards the $440+ repair cost.
  • In a nutshell, there are thousands of credible drivers in Harare, but Ngonidzaishe is not one of them. if considering to contract him as a driver of your vehicle for opreation on InDrive, Bolt or any other such platform, be sure to obtain a substantial deposit from him.

Ngonidzaishe Mandengu (refers to himself as Ngoni), is a 39-year-old man currently residing in the Charlotte Brooke area of Harare (originally from Bindura), Zimbabwe. He is a part-time unorthodox pastor (self-proclaimed evangelist), digital marketer, and a driver who is active on both InDrive and Bolt, within Harare, Zimbabwe. Over the last few months, we have received two separate open declarations about Ngoni, as an InDrive driver within Harare: one of which is explored herein.

In September of 2025, Ngoni was taken up as a driver, and subsequently provided with a Nissan vehicle to that effect. Within two weeks of operating as a driving, he began missing his weekly pay-in target amounts and dates, missing appointments to the mechanic for routine maintenance, and concurrently attempting to pursue other business activities (such as telemarketing, supply of dogs as security articles, and conducting church-related errands: all whilst within his hours of being active on InDrive.

In the middle of December 2025, after many weeks of displaying baseless cockiness outright unreliability, and untrustworthiness as an InDrive driver, Ngoni crashed the Nissan vehicle he was given, whilst driving on Seke road in Harare, during the early hours of one morning. He blamed a Kombi for cutting into his lane, yet that claim was never substantiated. Despite being asked to do so by the vehicle’s owner, Ngoni never reported the accident to the police, and as such never received and or provided a police report to the owner of the Nissan vehicle. Furthermore, there was not even a single witness to substantial his claim of events.

As evident from the photos of the Nissan vehicle above, Ngonidzaishe had caused some very notable damage to the vehicle he was contracted to use on InDrive. The vehicle had to be towed from the scene of the crash on Seke road in Harare and on to a nearby mechanic, on the 17th of December 2025. The plethora of repair requirements for the vehicle included: repair to both front wheels, repair to shock absorbers, replacement of several broken parts near the front wheels, and considerable panel-beating work to the front of the vehicle.

After several back-and-forth discussions between Ngonidzaishe and the vehicle owner, Ngoni, claimed that he could not afford the repair bill at once, all whilst insisting that the accident was not his fault.

The vehicle was subsequently repaired by its owner, with a total repair bill going beyond $440. Ngonidzaishe Mandengu was promptly dismissed as the vehicle’s driver. The vehicle’s owner concludes that Ngoni is extremely unprofessional as a driver: and more so as an InDrive driver. If any vehicle owner out there comes across him or his request to use anyone’s vehicle for InDrive or any other related purpose, it would be extremely foolish to assign any vehicle to him without collection of an initial payment deposit: to cover a minimum of two weeks of weekly payments. Better still, a more credible and suitable driver should be sought.
