Gushungo Dairies (Pvt) Ltd has been taken to the High Court
by Auto World Harare (Pvt) Ltd for allegedly failing to pay $11 000 for service
done on one of the farm’s motor vehicle.
Gushungo Dairies is owned by former President Robert
Mugabe’s family. Auto World Harare (Pvt) Ltd also urged the court to slap
Mugabe’s business with costs of the litigation on a higher scale.
In its declaration filed alongside the court summons, Auto
World Harare said the Gushungo Dairies Isuzu vehicle, registration number, AZC
2327, came to their garage on October 29, 2018.
Auto World Harare argued it carried out the major service
on the car by providing labour and supplying motor vehicle parts as well as
service sundries.
“The plaintiff (Auto World) accordingly charged the
defendant (Gushungo Dairies) for the services provided as per invoice number
1653622 … in the sum of $11 004,” the company said.
“It was the plaintiff’s terms and conditions that invoices
are paid within seven days upon receipt. The defendant was issued with an
invoice on October 29, 2018 and to date, the invoice remains unpaid,” Auto
World said.
“Notwithstanding demand, the defendant has failed and/or
refused to pay the sums due and owing to the plaintiff for its labour, motor
parts and professional service. The defendant is accordingly liable to the
plaintiff for the outstanding invoice as described together with costs on an
attorney and client scale.”
The former President’s business concern is yet to respond
to the litigation. Newsday
