By A Correspondent| Former Big Brother Africa star Munyaradzi Chidzonga has approached the court suing directors of a medical firm Ivory Medical for allegedly removing him from the directorship of the company.
The firm applied for a canabis farming licence from the government with Chidzonga cited as one of the directors together with Elizabeth Sekai Bakasa.
Chidzonga was made in charge of the project while Bakasa was made responsible for the project.
It is alleged that the other directors Nathan Kalumbu, former Eurasia and Africa Group President of Coca-Cola company and Gilbert Tangwara Chahwanda, a National Aids Council (NAC) board member went behind the two’s back and removed them from the directorship of the company.
It is also alleged that they went and obtained an amended canabis licence ousting the two and moving the project from Chiredzi Prison to Kalumbu’s farm in Headlands.
Chidzonga said his alleged resignation from the company is fraudulent as it never happened. This, he said, also means the amended licence is null and void as he is still in charge of the project.
“The 1st and 2nd Respondents (Kalumbu and Chahwanda) in connivance with each other uttered the fraudulent CR14 dated the 20th of May 2020 to the 5th, 6th and 7th Respondent (health minister, secretary for health and the Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe) resulting in the issuance of an amended licence dated the 21st of April 2020 which unlawfully removed the 2nd Applicant as the authorised person and myself as the responsible person,” he said.
“Whatever cultivation and production of cannabis being conducted at Kamando Farm in Headlands is illegal in that it is based on an amended licence obtained through fraudulent means by the 1” and 2™ Respondent.
“The process of seeking an amendment of the 3rd respondent’s (Ivory Medical) licence was never a lawful process because it was on the basis of a fraudulent CR14 (now CR6) which deceived the Registrar of Companies that the 2nd applicant and I had resigned from our positions within the 3 Respondent,” he said.
