BY TAURAI MANGUDHLA CONTRACTING firm, Nengo Builders Private Limited (Nengo) whose files could not be located at the Zimbabwe Companies Registry during an investigation by NewsDay has availed its registration documents.
The company has been caught up in a US$4 million tender storm after it was given a contract by the National Building Society to complete part of 500 housing units in Dzivarasekwa, Harare.
NewsDay visited the company’s offices in Manresa industrial sites for verification and found a fleet of new construction trucks parked outside.
Nengo availed its company documents, including a certificate of incorporation issued in 1999 under the Companies Act as a limited entity.
The company’s directors are Weston and Anna Nengomasha.
Nengo was this month upgraded by Local Government and Public Works ministry to a category A contractor; effectively removing a ceiling on the value of the individual contract it can undertake.
Category B has a ceiling of US$6 million, while category C and D have a ceiling of US$3 million and US$1,5 million, respectively.
A National Social Security Authority (Nssa) certificate showed that Nengo is in full compliance with pension and other benefit schemes as prescribed in the Nssa Act.
