KFC Zimbabwe, which has been supplying used cooking oil to
a Harare businessman for his soap business is being sued at the High Court for
failing to meet its obligation.
Hermish Chitera is seeking an order compelling Crispy
Chicken Restaurant trading as KFC Zimbabwe to supply used cooking oil to all
his branches in Zimbabwe as per the parties’ agreement.
According to court papers filed by Chitera said; “In
January 2018, Chitera and the defendant (KFC Zimbabwe) entered into a contract
wherein the respondent was to supply the applicant with used oil from all its
branches in Zimbabwe at reviewable prices for a period of 10 years.
“It was a material term of the agreement that the applicant
shall pay for the used oil using cash only and should travel to all these
branches on a weekly basis to collect all used oil.
“The applicant is in the informal business of making
environmentally friendly soaps and other products using used cooking oil as the
main raw material.
“However sometime in May this year the respondent started
reneging on its obligations in terms of the contract by not supplying the used
oil to some branches of the applicant.”
Chitera says KFC is in breach of their contract and
prejudicing him.
“I therefore pray that this honourable court upholds the
contact as a valid contract and the respondent be ordered to perform their
obligations in terms of the aforementioned contract,” said Chitera. Herald
