ZPC appeal papers against Chivayo ruling in shambles

THE Supreme Court yesterday postponed to next week the hearing of an appeal by the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC), which is contesting a High Court ruling that found businessman Wicknell Chivayo not guilty of fraud and reinstated him to continue running the controversial Gwanda solar project.

The case was set to be heard yesterday, but could not kick off after it emerged that ZPC papers were in shambles.

Chivayo, through his company Intratrek Zimbabwe (Pvt) Ltd, is demanding US$22 million defamation damages from ZPC for causing his arrest.
