Cleric demands $10K compensation

Midlands Correspondent
Founder and leader of the International Council for Peace and Justice Trust (ICPJ) Reverend Jackie Ngulube has filed summons against Kwekwe City Council demanding $10 000 compensation for alleged persecution by the municipality.

Council stopped water supplies to Rev Ngulube alleging he owes $731.

He claims to have paid council what he owed through Ecocash.

Rev Ngulube alleges in the court papers that council had been persecuting him since 2013 for unknown reasons.

“I make an urgent ex-parte application for spoliation. After the court ordered that the local authority reconnect water at my residence, since then the city council has been trying to persecute me for no apparent reason”, he said in papers filed at the Kwekwe Civil Court.

Rev Ngulube said he visited council offices and they failed to account for his payments.
