By Own Correspondent| The National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) has taken the Grain Marketing Board (GMB) to the High Court over failure to pay rentals.

The NRZ alleges that the GMB has failed to pay rentals amounting to $710 696 pleading with the court to issue GMB with an eviction order as well as an order to recover the owed rentals.

In its court papers, NRZ said:

“Wherefore, plaintiff prays against the defendant for an order confirming the cancellation of the lease agreement between the parties, an order ejecting the defendant and all those claiming through it from Grain Marketing Board Depot Railway Reserve, Nandi, payment of the sum of $710 696,11 being arrear rentals due holding over damages at the rate of $876,65 per month from the date of demand to the date of ejectment in respect of Grain Marketing Board Depot Railway Reserve, Nandi and payment of cost of suit on an attorney and client scale.”

GMB is yet to respond to the matter.
