Anjin property set to be auctioned over $830 000 debt

One of the country’s leading diamond mining firms, Anjin Investments (Pvt) Ltd, is set to lose property worth over $830 000 after it failed to appear in court to defend its labour case, resulting in the High Court making a default judgment in favour of the firm’s former security guards.

The company’s 200 former guards had filed an $837 506,22 claim against their ex-employer whom they accused of breaching contractual obligations.

According to court papers, the diamond firm employed over 200 security guards between 2010 and 2012 who were now demanding packages ranging from $700 to $7 000 each.
