Mangwana scoffs at Hammer & Tongues lawsuit

Munyaradzi Paul Mangwana says the $14 950 suit filed against him by  Real Estate does not hold water because he has already paid the debt claim in full.

Mr Mangwana, who is legislator for Chivi Central, bought a Glen Lorne property through an auction conducted by Hammer & Tongues for $260 000 but the auctioneer claims the politician did not pay commission to the tune of $14 950.

Mangwana told The Herald that he does not owe Hammer & Tongues a cent because he paid the money in full to Decorback Properties by June this year. Decorback, according to Mr Mangwana, acted as an agent for Hammer & Tongues.

Hammer & Tongues indicated that it had nothing to do with Decorback and this month issued summons against Mr Mangwana and his wife Pauline claiming the money.

Mr Mangwana said the payment was made under the impression that the two firms were working together.
