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
