Zimbabwe social media personality and businessman, Kuda Musasiwa is one of the people who took to social media to remind people that they do not know everything about Uncle Roland. He highlighted that Roland was actually a benefactor to may poor Zimbabweans who would not have been able to attend University without his funds.
Writing on social media, Kuda Musasiwa said,
I’m only outing his donation coz I see him trending for the wrong reason. I have never met this man. I have only ever spoken to him on WhatsApp. People calling Him ugly etc. I see a beautiful soul. A hero. He paid $10000 for strangers, kids who whee vendors and maids to learn.
#RolandMuchengwa Story: when I was raising funds do kids to go to Uni, I got a message offering to pay for Ranga’s fees but we had already covered him. Roland then ended up donating $10000 Rtgs which helped pay for 10 kids to start UZ. He didn’t want recognition #JudgeNot
