REIGNING soccer champions Dynamos Football Club have lost office furniture and equipment worth over $3 300 after losing a case against former striker Edmore Mashiri who won an order for unpaid signing-on fees and winning bonuses amounting to $2 800.

REPORT BY CHARLES LAITON

Mashiri successfully applied for attachment of property in execution under case number 20420/12 and the removal date according to the court papers was set for Wednesday this week.

The attachment of DeMbare property followed an order in favour of Mashiri granted by Harare magistrate Tatenda Manhanzva last November after the former took his ex-paymasters to court seeking to compel them to pay him his dues.

This was after Dynamos had declined to pay Mashiri his dues arguing he had repudiated his contract with the club when he left to play for another club before the expiry of his deal.

But the magistrate, however, granted Mashiri, who was represented by Blessing Nyamwanza, his application as per the draft order.

Part of the order reads: “The respondent (Dynamos) pays to the applicant (Mashiri) an amount of $2 800 within seven days of this order.

“The respondent pays interest at the prescribed rate from the 30th December 2010 to the date of judgment and the respondent pays costs of suit.”

In the court application for the recovery of debt, Mashiri said on or about December 30 2010 the reigning soccer champions acknowledged in writing its indebtedness to him in the claimed amount.

The express terms of the aforementioned acknowledgement of debt was for among other payments; signing-on fees in the sum of $2 000, winning bonus — league in the sum of $400 and winning bonus — Confederation of African Football (Caf) in the sum of $400.
