Career

Controversies

In 2019 Dzuda was taken to court by Zimpapers. Zimpapers approached the High Court seeking an order to force Dzuda to pay over $11 000 in damages caused to its Isuzu KB250 vehicle.

Zimpapers claimed Dzuda concealed the accident but reported that he had been involved in a hit and run accident while attending national hero Oliver Mtukudzi’s burial only after he had been confronted.

The company said Dzuda was dismissed from employment on February 25, 2019, and was advised to return the allocated vehicle since it was his employer’s property.

When he finally did so on March 5, 2019, it was discovered that the car had been involved in an accident.

Zimpapers said in order to have the vehicle repaired it sought and received panel beating quotations from at least three vehicle dealers and it selected the lowest quotation which was from Jock Smith Spray Paints.

They said the company charged them $11 080. Zimpapers said Dzuda failed, refused or neglected to pay the amount or to repair the damaged vehicle hence its decision to approach the courts.^[5]

Death

Dzuda died on 19 January 2021. Whilst the cause of death was unspecified unconfirmed reports said the veteran presenter had died from Covid-19.
