They are seeking an order compelling Mbada Diamonds to pay them $927 833,18 in outstanding salaries, overtime, accrued leave days and gratuities as at 1 August 2017 including general damages over its failure to remit their pension fund contributions. Mbada Diamonds has not yet responded to the summons.
