Zupco sues Sakunda over $246 000 Zanu-PF congress debt

The Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (Zupco) has approached the High Court seeking to compel Sakunda Holdings to pay over $246 000 after the latter hired 151 buses for use during the Zanu-PF congress two years ago.

Sakunda Holdings trading as Sakunda Logistics recently merged with Redan Petroleum to form Puma, a fuel supply company.

According to papers filed at the High Court by Zupco under case number HC1550/16, Sakunda Logistics, through its representative Kudakwashe Redmond Tagwirei, approached the bus company sometime in November 2014 and hired 151 buses to ferry Zanu-PF delegates to their congress in Harare in December 2014.
