Zimbabwe’s Supreme Court strikes off an application filed by former National Social Security Authority (NSSA) chief executive Robin Vela and his company, Firstmile Apartments (Livingstone Avenue) Private Limited, in a debt dispute involving Al Shams Global Limited. Al Shams Global is registered in the British Virgin Islands and is linked to businessman Jayesh Shah, according to the reports.
The court’s decision is based on procedural grounds. It rules that the proceedings were filed without proper authority. As a result, the application by Vela and his company is not allowed to proceed, and it is removed from the court record (“struck off”).
Both outlets summarise the same outcome: the Supreme Court does not address the merits of the underlying debt dispute in the account provided, focusing instead on the lack of proper authority for the filing. The reports describe the parties involved and the court’s disposition of Vela’s appeal bid, without detailing further case facts or next steps in the dispute.
