The Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) and Wicknell Chivayo’s Intratek Zimbabwe are poised to restart the 100MW Gwanda Solar Project.
The project faced setbacks due to alleged non-performance by Chivayo’s company, but recent developments have put it back on track.
ZPC’s acting managing director, Norbet Matarutse, informed the parliamentary portfolio committee on mines and energy that discussions are underway to revive the stalled Gwanda Solar Project. He said (<a href="https://www.zimlive.com/zpc-intratek-revive-abandoned-gwanda-solar-project/">via ZimLive</a>):
<blockquote>
The Supreme court made a judgement that we need to go back to the contract that we signed with Intratek in 2015 which is what we are doing. We seek to make sure that we abide by the ruling of the Supreme Court.
</blockquote>
The Supreme Court made a judgement that we need to go back to the contract that we signed with Intratek in 2015 which is what we are doing. We seek to make sure that we abide by the ruling of the Supreme Court.
In 2015, Intratek Zimbabwe won a tender worth US$200 million. ZPC paid Intratek Zimbabwe US$5 million for initial tasks like site clearance and feasibility studies.
Due to delays, ZPC cancelled the contract and reported Intratek Zimbabwe and Chivayo to the police for fraud.
Later, the courts acquitted Chivayo and Intratek Zimbabwe of fraud, affirming the contract’s validity. Additionally, the court ordered ZPC to fulfil its contractual duties.
Tungamirai Chinhengo, a lawyer for ZPC told the same committee that the US$5 million paid to Intratek was for the commencement works. He added:
<blockquote>
The parties are currently engaging each other intending to resume works at the Gwanda Solar Project.
However, I want to clarify a position which has been misinterpreted about the US$22 million damages.
The issue of damages has never been ordered by any court in respect of this. The High Court and Supreme Court never ordered anything in respect of damages to Intratek.
</blockquote>
Chinhengo mentioned that ZPC and Intratek are currently discussing a review of the contract price. He said given the substantial reduction in global solar pricing due to technological advancements, the parties are exploring adjustments to the contract terms, considering the time that has passed since 2015.

Chivayo, ZPC Revive Abandoned Gwanda Solar Project

Businessman and socialite, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Wicknell_Chivayo">Wicknell Chivayo</a>, has told the High Court that his arrest on allegations of defrauding the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) had tarnished his integrity to an extent that it was now difficult to get any lucrative contracts.
He was testifying in a case where he is suing ZPC for US$22 million for defamation, and for breaching the solar project deal, which he argues was still valid.
Chivayo said his company, Intratrek Zimbabwe, has lost considerable business, locally and abroad, owing to the ZPC scandal.
He said he has lost credibility with potential clients. <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/chivayo-laments-impact-of-zesa-fraud-charge-i-can-no-longer-win-new-contracts-he-tells-court-as-he-sues-utility-for-us22m/">NewZimbabwe.com</a> cites Chivayo, an ex-convict, as saying:
<blockquote>
I can no longer do any projects due to the bad publicity l have received due to the ZPC deal.
I have lost potential business in Kenya and Tanzania. l had gone there to do business and l was told l was the person who took money from ZPC and ran away. 
We visited the site together, they came back and did a report so it does not make any sense that l failed to deliver on the promises agreed on.
They have been malicious and circulating falsehoods
</blockquote>
He further insisted that ZPC was owing Intratrek huge amounts of money from a deal they penned seven years ago.
Chivayo denies the allegations by ZPC that he took money meant for the Gwanda solar project which he reportedly failed to implement.
He says he should be given a chance to complete the project for the benefit of the country.
The trial continues Tuesday. 
<h2>Context:</h2>
ZPC paid $5.6 million to Intratrek Zimbabwe, in which Chivayo is a director, for pre-commencement works in the construction of a $200 million solar power plant in Gwanda. Chivayo failed to deliver.
The case spilt into court and in 2019 the High Court <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2018/12/14/uproar-as-wicknell-chivayos-company-wins-25-million-zesa-lawsuit/">prohibited ZPC from cancelling the contract</a> and suing to recover the money paid to Chivayo’s company. The ruling left ZPC with the onus of paying him $25 million for breach of contract or allowing his company to proceed with the project.
The Supreme Court overturned the ruling.

Wicknell Chivayo Says The Gwanda Solar Project Tender Tainted His Image

The Parliament of Zimbabwe has launched an investigation into how Sakunda Holdings and Intratek were unceremoniously awarded tenders by the local power utility, ZESA.
Sakunda Holdings which is owned by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s friend Kudakwashe Tagwirei was awarded a multi-million-dollar tender to construct a 200MW diesel power plant in Dema even without placing a bid.
The tender was initially won by APR Energy Holdings, a United States-based firm in 2015, but was later inexplicably rescinded and handed over to Sakunda, who in turn subcontracted a losing bidder, Aggreko, as a partner.
Meanwhile, Intratek which is owned by ex-convict Wicknell Chivayo was awarded the 100MW Gwanda solar power plant tender albeit the company did not meet all the minimum requirements.
Committee chairman Tendai Biti, a legislator for Harare East, said they were also digging into other underhand dealings involving Zesa following a 2019 audit that alleged endemic corruption at the power utility. He said:
<blockquote>Today as Public Accounts Committee we began our work on Zesa. We will be examining issues to do with the Gwanda Intratek solar project, the Dema Sakunda Diesel Power Plant, the Zesa technology transfer agreement with India’s PME, and the US$35m Afrexim-Zesa loan, among other issues.</blockquote>
He was speaking after Zesa executive chairman Sidney Gata on Monday had appeared before legislators for questioning and gave him until Friday to avail all the pertinent details on the deals.
Gata, however, argued that individuals who were better positioned to respond to some of the questions were no longer with the power utility promising nevertheless that he will research the facts and provide answers.
He also told lawmakers that the Dema diesel project had since been abandoned.
Zimbabwe is reported to have lost billions of dollars through corruption and analysts believe the country could have been one of the fastest-growing economies on the continent.

Parliament Probes Sakunda And Intratek Tender Scandals

Controversial Zimbabwean businessman, Wicknell Chivayo last week met Malawian President Peter Mutharika in the central African country.
Chivayo’s wealth is linked to corruption and he is a media attention seeker, according to Nyasa Times. The report claims:
<blockquote>Chivayo’s wealth is linked to corruption in Zimbabwe and has been a social media attention seeker known for posting images of himself sitting behind a table loaded with bricks of US dollar banknotes in an ostentatious display of riches.</blockquote>
Chivayo is the Managing Director of Intratrek Ltd and is involved in a legal wrangle with the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC), a subsidiary of Zimbabwe’s power utility, ZESA Holdings.
Sir Wicknell, as he calls himself, was in Malawi where his technical partners Chint Electric of China have just completed four power projects. Writing on social media, he said:
<blockquote>I spent the last five days in Malawi on a business trip and more importantly had to pass by and congratulate His Excellency the President of the Republic of Malawi Peter Mutharika on his victory in the recent elections.
He is indeed a wonderful father figure to us all Africans. As a long-time supporter of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), I commend his tireless efforts to grow the economy and redevelop Malawi to improve the lives of the ordinary citizens. I’m proud to be part of his vision.</blockquote>
Some Malawians who commented on the ‘Sir Wicknell’ story expressed outrage over Chivayo’s visit to Malawi. One comment reads:
<blockquote>Looks like these two bwanas deserve each other. Takes a thief to know a thief. Birds of a feather flock together. The ‘economic progress’ referred to is their own personal economic progress.</blockquote>
Another commentator said:
<blockquote>Thieves at their best lol! Praising each other. Zimbabwe is suffering because of this idiot with his old Mugabe, praises from such kind of people go to stupid educated fools.</blockquote>
Meanwhile, one Mjojo said President Mutharika’s advisors should do background checks of people like Chivayo before they meet the President. He wrote:
<blockquote>For sure APM advisors would have done him the justice to do background checks of this guy before meeting him.
In the current political turmoil, an intelligent president would have done well to choose who he meets unless he is like this Zimbabwe Mafia.</blockquote>

Some Malawians Outraged By Wicknell Chivayo's Visit

Controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo has accused his partner his business partner Yusuf Ahmid of plotting to push him out of Intratek Zimbabwe, the company which won the tender for the US$200 million Gwanda Solar Power Project. This follows claims by Ahmed’s lawyer Bruce Tokwe, t<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2018/02/12/intratek-disowns-wicknell-parly-say-not-shareholder-claim-not-know-used-5m-zesa/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">hat Chivayo ceded his shares in the company in 2014 and was now working for the company as a managing director.</a> Tokwe made the claims while <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2018/02/12/6-takeaways-wicknell-chivhayos-parliamentary-portfolio-committee-grilling/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">appearing before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Mines and Energy.</a> However, Chivayo insists that he owns 50 percent of Intratek.
Chivayo’s lawyer Wilson Manase, wrote to Bruce Tokwe saying
<blockquote>Your demand (for documents) has been inopportunely made at a time when both your clients and yourself jointly and severally engaged certain officials from ZESA Holdings on or around 25 January 2018 on an inimical attempt to illegally topple our client from his rightful position as a 50 percent shareholder in Intratrek Zimbabwe and its managing director
…Their conduct is only explained by sheer greed and self-absorbed interests to acquire undeserving gains from the Gwanda Solar 100MW project.
It is clear that your clients have conveniently peddled falsehoods in order to unjustly benefit from our client’s exceptional dedication to ensuring that the project is a success.</blockquote>

Wicknell Accuses Business Partner Of Plotting Boardroom Coup To Push Him Out Of Intratek

There was drama in Parliament today after controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo was publicly disowned as a shareholder in Intratek Holding by his purported partners. Chivayo had told the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Mines and Energy that he owns 50 percent of Intratek Zimbabwe with Yousouf Ahmed owning the other 50 percent. However, according to Bruce Tokwe, the lawyer who represents the other shareholder, Ahmed, Chivayo ceded his shares in the company in 2014 and was now working for the company as a managing director.
Chivayo immediately retorted that the cession of shares documents the lawyers have was never registered. He insisted that the issue of shareholding is an internal matter and claimed that the other partner, Yusuf Ahmed gave him back his shares in 2015 after he had initially ceded them in 2014. When asked if there was a dispute between the shareholders at the courts, Chivayo was forced to admit there was none despite trying to state that there is a potential lawsuit. Committee chairperson Temba Mliswa had to warn Chivayo that he was under oath and that he needed to answer truthfully or he would face contempt of parliament charges.
Tokwe accused Chivayo of not respecting the rules of corporate governance say that the businessman was doing things on his own without consultation. He also said that Chivayo had rebuffed efforts by his partners to engage him at various points. Said Tokwe,
<blockquote>It’s a clear case of delinquency on the part of management and we’re getting to the bottom of the matter.</blockquote>
Tokwe also said that his clients were concerned about the direction the company was moving in and told the portfolio committee that his clients were not aware of how Chivayo had used the $5 million advance fee that he had he received from the Zimbabwe Power Company in irregular circumstances for the Gwanda Solar Power Project. Intratek claimed that Chivayo was just a director who was spoiling their reputation.
Despite the dispute over shareholding, Tokwe emphasized that the shareholders of Intratek are happy to fund the project “to ensure what needs to be done is done.” He said the other shareholders had invested between $2 million and $3 million. A figure which Chivayo also claimed to have put in.
The committee promised to look into documentary evidence and to call former energy minister Samuel Undenge to testify before them.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more details become available.

Intratek Disowns Wicknell In Parly, Say He Is Not A Shareholder, Claim They Do Not Know How He Used $5m from Zesa

The Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) is seeking to cancel the $113 million contract awarded to Indian company, Jaguar Overseas Limited (JOL) in 2015. JOL won the contract to repower Munyati Power Station after partnering with Wicknell Chivayo’s Intratrek Zimbabwe. ZPC is now seeking permission from the State Procurement Board to cancel the contract saying that the firm has delayed in securing funding to rehabilitate the power station.
However, the Indian firm has threatened to go to the courts if the contract is cancelled. JOL, in turn, has counter-accused the SPB of seeking to reverse the tender process in order to award the bid to Chinese company, China Gezhouba. The company said:
<blockquote>The employer, in an unscrupulous and unprecedented move, attempted to smuggle in the second round placed bid, China Gezhouba, as the winner of this tender in a clear violation of the procurement Act and its regulations,” the JOL chief executive said.
ZPC, in surprising turn of events, after having found the (JOL) bid to be compliant, both technically and financially, attempted to contradict themselves. Their attempt to question funding smacks of sinister underhand activities and is another attempt to benefit the losing Gezhouba bid, which they had brazenly recommended as the winning bid,” he said.
The allegations of failure to raise funding are completely unfounded. The lead financiers, BancABC, stated in no uncertain terms that subject to conditions precedent being complied with, they are ready to commit 15 funding.</blockquote>
