Zesa takes PM’s brother to court over bill

ZETDC is claiming US$16 546,72 together with interest at the prescribed rate.
The power company is also seeking an order for costs of the suit. Tsvangirai was still to respond to the summons.

 

The lawsuit was filed at the time the power utility was crying foul over unpaid bills to the tune of US$600 million.
Out of the outstanding US$600 million, Zesa claims farmers countrywide owe the utility US$60 million.

Various individuals and companies countrywide had their electricity disconnected over huge bills and several cases have since spilled into the courts.
Early this year, Econet Wireless issued summons against Tsvangirai at the same court over a mobile phone bill of US$1 272 incurred in 2010.
