The Deputy Sheriff has attached Chiredzi Town Council's movable property over a $120,000 debt that it owes a construction company, Concort Construction Company (Pvt) Limited.
Among the property attached was the town council's whole fleet of light vehicles, office furniture and computers.
From a fleet of about 20 vehicles, only a refuse compactor and T35 truck were spared. The development has crippled service delivery.
A senior official from the Deputy Sheriff was seen yesterday assisting in removing all light vehicles, furniture and computers from the council premises.
The company was hired to service both residential and commercial stands in the sugarcane town.
According to the Chronicle, Town Secretary, Charles Muchatukwa, confirmed the development.
He described the decision as "too emotional" on the part of the construction company, given that they had engaged them over the matter.
"I can confirm that our entire fleet comprising light vehicles, save for a refuse compactor and a T35 truck, were attached by the Deputy Sheriff over a $127, 000 debt that we owe Concort Construction Company (Pvt) Limited. We once hired the company to service stands in the CBD," said Muchatukwa.
