BIG Brother Amplified (BBA) winner Wendall
Parson has taken a local firm Nu-Aero trading as Fresh Air to court
over a $21 500 debt after the latter allegedly failed to pay him for
services rendered.
After scooping the award in 2011,
Parson was allegedly approached by Matipedza Karase who was cited in
court papers as the first respondent, representing Nu-Aero, to be the
firm’s brand ambassador.
It was allegedly agreed then
on September 23, 2011 that the firm would use Parson's name and services
at a cost of $31 500 from the agreed date to November 30 of the same
year.
Parson claims that in compliance with the
said agreement, he performed his obligation and made himself available
to Nu-Aero, but in breach of the said agreement, the firm paid him $10
500 leaving a balance of $21 500.
However, Nu-Aero has since denied owing Parson the alleged money while Karase argued he was wrongly cited in Parson's claim.
"The
defendants aver that due to the untimely and unexpected cancellation of
all the flights by the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ) by
way of a directive in an undated letter addressed to the second
defendant (Nu-Aero), the latter could only conduct one successful flight
out of the total scheduled 31 flights, which meant he (Parson)
performed one out of 31 of his obligations under the said contract,"
Karase said.
Parson however, maintained he was entitled to the full amount under the alleged signed brand ambassador agreement.
