Civil servants lose bid to recover impounded vehicles

THE High Court has upheld a decision by the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) to impound vehicles bought by 35 civil servants under the government rebate scheme.

Shepherd Gutsa and 34 others had dragged Zimra before High Court judge Justice Maxwell Takuva, who heard the case in his chambers.

The government workers were seeking a spoliatory relief against Zimra setting aside the notices of seizure that had been issued against them in respect of the vehicles they individually imported.
