Buhera South legislator Joseph Chinotimba (Zanu PF) has petitioned
the High Court seeking an order compelling a Chinese-owned firm, and its five
directors to pay him $65 755 for supplied macadamia nuts.
Through his lawyers, Venturas and Samkange Legal
Practitioners, the legislator filed summons on Wednesday this week citing Sunny
Zimbabwe International, Mai Tao Ming, Luo Su Yuan, Lin Qianlong and Lin Shuen
as respondents.
In his declaration forming part of the summons, Chinotimba
said sometime in February this year, he entered into an oral agreement with the
Chinese firm’s directors for the sale of his macadamia nuts to their company
for $220 000 payable the following month.
“Immediately, the plaintiff delivered the macadamia nuts to
the first defendant at Lot 1 Laughing Water, Chipinge. The second, third,
fourth and fifth defendants (Ming, Yuan, Qianlong and Shuen) stood as
guarantors for the due performances by the first defendant,” he said.
Chinotimba further said the Chinese firm managed to pay
$154 000, leaving a balance of $65 00, but despite demand, the firm and its
directors had failed and/or neglected to settle the balance. Newsday
