PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa last week caused the attachment of
various oil-processing equipment owned by Kwekwe-based firm, Sherwood
Nursuries, over an outstanding $18 000 debt for soyabeans supplied by
the Head of State in 2014.
“Sometime in July 2014 at Kwekwe at Sherwood Nurseries, specific insistence and request, Pircabe Enterprises sold and delivered 36 247 tonnes of soyabeans valued at $18 485,97, which was payment upon delivery, but defendant failed to pay,” part of Mnangagwa’s application filed at the High Court by his lawyer, Valentine Mutatu reads.
Justice Lawrence Kamocha last week ordered attachment of Sherwood Nursuries’ property, which include a biodiesel plant, two oil separators, steel tanks, two extruders, and 1 000-litre oil neutralisers, among other movable property.
Justice Kamocha, in settling the case (HC 247/17), also ordered that Mnangagwa be paid interest from 2014 and the cost of suit.
“We are, indeed, handling that matter but we do not have instructions from our clients to speak further on the matter,” he said. Newsday
