Staff Reporter |The cash strapped Municipality of Gwanda has lost three of its recently acquired vehicles over a debt owed to Fawcett Security.
Reports from within council are that the Municipality failed to settle a debt amounting to $30 000 to the security firm for guarding an incomplete council project for over two years.
Fawcetts Security Company was engaged by council to guard an incomplete water reservoir tank since 2013 and failed to pay for the service.
When work at the tank resumed early this year, council removed the security firm from the site without paying for the service resulting in the security company engaging the services of the deputy sheriff to recover their money.
Council officials refused to comment on the issue referring the matter to Mayor Knowledge Ndlovu who was said to be in a meeting on plans to rescue the vehicles from auction.
