A canteen operator at the Manhize steel works got hit with property seizures after dodging a $27k bill to former top cop Oliver Chibage, who runs a chicken supply business. The debt traces back to hundreds of birds plus vegetables and beef products that Jola Chickens delivered to Hotplate Grillhouse's operation inside the Dundon facility in Mvuma, and the company tried claiming everything showed up rotten because it wasn't refrigerated properly during transport.
Court papers show Hotplate and its director, Benson Muneri, signed a settlement deal to pay monthly installments with 10% interest tacked on, but they ghosted the first payment deadline. Chibage's lawyers argued the goods-received vouchers never mentioned quality problems when deliveries happened, calling the spoilage claims a last-minute excuse after the fact.
