Zim Now Writer

Businessman Malvern Chimutashu had property worth US$10 000 attached following a Harare magistrate’s order over rental arrears.

Chimutashu's company EBA Insurance failed to pay one year’s rentals to retired banker Lawrence Tamayi for property in Mt Pleasant, Harare.

Read part of the order issued by the magistrate: “Whereupon after reading the documents filled of record for an order for rent attachment in terms of section 34 of the Magistrate Court Act [Chapter 7:10] and the rules of this honourable court. It is ordered that the Messenger of Court do seize and arrest so much of the movable property, effects and appliances of EBA Insurance ... as shall be sufficient to satisfy the sum of US$10 000 or the equivalent in Zimbabwe dollars at the official Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe exchange rate and costs.”

Chimutashu, who has several fraud cases that have been brought before the courts, also previously failed to pay rentals to Misheck Kachere for his property in Arundel
