Gono 'chickens' out

A Harare woman has withdrawn a court application against Reserve Bank governor Gideon Gono’s farming business, Lunah Chickens, after the latter pulled out of the deal where he allegedly wanted to buy Kamfinsa Park Hotel in Greendale suburb.

Veronica Duro, daughter of the late Micah Duro, a farmer-cum–hotelier, who is contesting the sale of her father’s hotel, filed notice of withdrawal after Gono got his refund of $150 000 he had paid as deposit towards the purchase of the disputed property.

“I have since (August 1, 2011) withdrawn this application against Lunah Chickens following their own direct contact (with) me on July 29, 2011 whereat they confirmed they had since withdrawn from the sale,” she added.
