The Mudzi South constituency legislator Jonathan Samkange is breathing fire over the use of his lorry by diamond mining company Marange Resources Private Limited.
Samkange claims the diamond mining company has allegedly been using his lorry since 2008 without paying for the services.
He is claiming US$230 000 which he alleges was the cost of his Toyota Dyna Truck which without his knowledge was taken to Marange Resources by one Robert Van De Merwe.
It is reported that Van De Merwe entered into a mining joint venture for diamonds with Marange Resources Private Limited.
The defendant allegedly verbally agreed to pay Samkange the money for hiring his lorry, but has failed pay him since the commitment, thereby unjustly enriching the company at the expense of the plaintiff.
However, Marange Resources through Advocate Farai Mutamangira rejects the claim saying they never employed Masimirembwa or Dube and that there was never a contract entered into by them and Van De Merwe.
The mining company also challenges how the plaintiff arrived at the figure of US$230 000.
