A restaurant running a canteen at the Manhize steelworks site got its stuff seized by court officers after dodging a 27-grand debt to a chicken supplier owned by ex-police commissioner Oliver Chibage. Hotplate Grillhouse and its director stopped paying for hundreds of birds, plus vegetables and meat they ordered back in June, then tried claiming the products were trash that arrived in vehicles without refrigeration.
Chibage's company said the delivery receipts showed zero complaints when the goods got dropped off, and they got both sides to sign a settlement deal where Hotplate would chip away at the balance with monthly payments. The restaurant blew past the deadline without coughing up any cash, which triggered the property seizure through the sheriff's office.
