The Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) has denied that it played any part in the arrest of Intraterk managing director Wicknell Chivayo. Chivayo was arrested in August at the Robert Mugabe International Airport on charges of fraud, money laundering and contravening the Exchange Control Act. He is currently out on bail and is set to appear before a Harare magistrate on November 26. ZPC’s submission at the High Court reads
It is important to note that the allegations that respondent caused the arrest of the applicant’s managing director (Chivayo) is patently false and should be disregarded by this honourable court. As highlighted in the respondent’s notice of opposition, at no material time did it file charges against the applicant’s managing director.
Despite it being challenged to produce evidence that the charges were filed by the respondent, the applicant has not adduced such evidence.
