Zitac, which is fighting Boka Investments over the ownership of property on the floors, says it asked Mujuru to mediate in the matter after disturbances at the floors last Thursday.
Boka Investments alleged Zitac sent “thugs” to stop renovations at the floors but Zitac has denied the claims.
“We are seeking intervention so that they don’t touch our property as they are disabling everything that is functioning,” said Caleb Dengu, a Zitac shareholder.
“We have now asked the office of Vice-President Mujuru to assist us in coming up with an amicable solution to this matter.”
He confirmed that they held a meeting at Mujuru’s office on Friday but said the outcome of the deliberations was “inconclusive and ongoing.”Zitac signed a 15-year lease for the Boka Tobacco Auction Floors in 2001.
However, a legal dispute arose between the property owner, Boka Investments and Zitac when the former decided to cancel the lease citing breach of contract. Boka Investments won the case after it spilled into the High Court.
