ENG Capital vs Farai Rwodzi & Interfin Bank Zimbabwe Dispute unpacked (Part 1 of 10)

Since the dispute between Farai Rwodzi of Interfin Bank Holdings Zimbabwe and myself started after the illegal and irregular takeover of Century/CFX Bank BY Farai Rwodzi and Interfin Bank Zimbabwe it has become clear that Interfin and its shareholders and Directors ignored basic corporate finance rules of engagement.

Since Century Bank was illegally taken over it has had 3 name changes.This alone indicates deep underlying ownership problems. The Bank has been changed from Century Bank to CFX Bank then Interfin Banking corporation. All this in a period of less that 6 years in an effort to hide the tracks of the fraudulent conversion of 309 million Century shares into CFX Bank.

These various name changes are symptomatic of fraudulent transactions which keep being re-arranged to hide the original tracks. Other Banks such as Barclays or Standard have kept the same name for more than 100 years. Why is Century changing from Century to CFX Bank then Interfin Banking Corporation.

In addition Century/CFX Bank has had more than 7 different Managing Directors over a 5 year period since its illegal and irregular seizure from ENG Capital and myself. This has to be a world record for any Bank. The very high staff turnover especially at the top level of any Financial Institution only serves to confirm the ownership dispute.

These underlying problems could have been detected and avoided by Interfin Bank and Mr Farai Rwodzi had Interfin done a proper enhanced due diligence exercise ahead of their involvement with Century/CFX Bank.

All documents requested are supposed to be with respect to the Company, its subsidiaries and any joint ventures involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries and should be provided with respect to all periods since the founding of the Company, to allow a clear trend analysis to be developed should it be necessary.

Below is a basic list which Interfin should have used before getting involved with CFX Bank .This is freely available on the Internet. The list represents a standard due diligence request list and attempts to be over-inclusive rather than under-inclusive.

“I. CORPORATE BOOKS AND RECORDS

If Farai Rwodzi and Interfin Banking Corporation had done a proper due diligence they would have discovered High Court case HC-6244-04 wherein I am challenging the legality of the Century/CFX Bank transfer and or conversion.
