Zimasco writes to the Judicial Committee (JSC), accusing High Court judge Judge Joel Mambara of being an active participant in recent attempts to fraud it.
Zimasco dated March 21, through its CEO John Musekiwa, pointed out that Zimasco illegally granted a rescue order to the chromite ore smelting company when Mumbala had not been provided with the application.
The order in question was favored by Kwekwe businessman Shepard Tundiya, who owns Avim Investments and who was aiming to take over his business and bank account with partner Denny Marandure.
The first one failed to name Zimasco, which led to the Musekiwa complaint.
Along with lawyers Valentine Kwande and Wilson Manase, the two are accused of conspiring with Mumbala to “raid the Zimasco account.”
“The honorable judge could not amend his own orders in the absence of the affected parties,” reads Musekiwa’s letter.
“The acceptance of applications that were not providing services, consideration of that application in the absence of affected parties, and the breathtaking speed in which this was all made (assignment to mumbala, reading papers, granting a three-hour order, three-hour issue) suggested judicial misconduct, and although he simply wasn’t on duty, it was not taken away from the head.
“There is only one possible explanation for the behaviour of the honorable judge. This grants two court orders as it involves an unfair conspiracy to raid Zimasco (Pvt) Ltd’s bank account and work with two sets of lawyers and their clients to take over control by fraudulent means.”
Related news shows that the company’s creditor meeting, scheduled for March 26, was postponed by the High Court until it became prominent on the above issues.
An urgent application to the High Court is expected to be filed against Manase, who continues to present himself as a corporate rescue practitioner for mining organizations despite the current impasse.
