Sources said Motondo, who leads Grace Faith Ministries church, applied for a residence permit in Zimbabwe which was granted by the Immigration department on 3 February 2021, despite his criminal background.
The NewsHawks understands that Motondo’s application to stay in Zimbabwe was immediately granted after the Immigration department was “pressured” into processing his documents.
The Immigration department did not have reservations about Motondo’s application despite his criminal record, according to sources.
“A criminal check was done and also a police clearance, so it looks like all was above board,” a source said.
Efforts to get a comment from the Immigration department were fruitless after questions sent via email on 3 March were unanswered at the time of going to press.

Ian is asking children between the ages of eight and 12 to read The Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Q Rauf and write a review on it.
The book centres around a Syrian refugee named Ahmet who struggles to adapt to his new life in London until he is befriended by his new classmates.
