Sakunda Holdings ordered to pay engineers $203 000 for Dema project

Sakunda Holdings was yesterday ordered to pay engineering firm, Arup Zimbabwe, over $200 000 for services it rendered to the controversial Dema Power Project.

In its application for a default judgment placed before High Court judge, Justice Priscilla Chigumba, the engineering company accused Sakunda Holdings of reneging on a contract signed in May last year.

According to Arup, the contract included, among other things, that it would provide certain services in connection with the construction and operation of a 200-megawatt emergency power station at Dema.
