Opposition leader sues Econet over $1, demands $500 000 in compensation

Mr Kisinoti Mukwazhe who leads Zimbabwe Development Party is suing Econet Wireless over a dollar that was deducted as part of Ecosure subscriptions from his EcoCash account. In his application, he cited Ecosure, a subsidiary of Econet Wireless, as the first defendant while Econet Wireless is the second defendant.

He said that the $1 was deducted without his approval or consultation. Mukwazhe also states that he was unable to make a business call resulting in him incurring loses. Said Mukwazhe:

The first defendant, without consulting and without the consent of the plaintiff, started deducting $1 from the plaintiff’s EcoCash account. The plaintiff did not sign any documents for him to be on the first defendant’s platform. However, the plaintiff, while away in South Africa, wanted to make a business call, but failed to do so because the first defendant had deducted $1 from his EcoCash account. This led the plaintiff to fail to make the essential business call and resultantly that led him to lose on a potential business transaction. All this because the first defendant had deducted money from his EcoCash account.
