Former president Robert Mugabe company’s Gushungo Holdings (Private) Limited has accused a potato producing company that supplied it with seed on credit in 2015, of breaching a verbal contract entered between the two parties.
This comes after Seed Potato Co-op (Private) Limited approached the High Court demanding over $174 000 for potato seed supplied to Mugabe’s company.
However, in its papers filed last Friday, Mugabe’s company claimed that the potato seed that was delivered was substandard and defective and resulted in the company incurring losses instead of profits.
Said Gushungo Holdings:
Defendant (Seed Potato Co-op Private Limited) breached the agreement in that it delivered seeds which were substandard quality, defective and not as per the agreed standard. The defendant further breached the contract by delivering locally obtained seeds instead of imported seeds as per its undertaking. The defendant further charged the plaintiff the price for imported potato seed and yet it had delivered locally obtained seeds
