Zesa Holdings subsidiary, Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company, is being sued for $11 million by a local private firm over alleged breach of contract.

Sixth Century Contraction has dragged the power utility's transmission and distribution arm to court claiming it breached a contract entered for the construction of 3 sub-stations in Harare.

In its submissions to the High Court, Case HC 7150/12, Sixth Century Contraction claims in 2010 ZETDC gave its sister company permission to complete the project which had been suspended in 2006.

The firm said installation was suspended in 2006 due to financial constraints and the parties mutually agreed that construction would start when the situation had improved.
