Impala Car Rental has demanded retraction of the story published by The NewsHawks claiming the company is owned by the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO).
In a statement by company lawyers, Mudimu Law Chambers, the company is a family business whose directors are Matirasa Francisca Dondo and Clara Dondo and not the CIO.
The company has described the allegations as defamatory, malice and evil intention
“… it’s clear that your story is actuated by malice and evil intention, the allegations in your story are not only defamatory but also frivolous and vexatious.”
Impala has however gave a 48hours period to the publication to retract the story the same mode of platform as published.
“We do hereby demand that you kindly retract your story in its entirety, using the same mode of platform and giving it the same due weight as it was published, find hereto attached the CR14 of the company.”
In the event of failing to retract the story, the Mudimu Chambers said it will approach for recourse.
“… the failure we will approach the courts for recourse and you will bear the costs of litigation.”
The company lawyers also accused the media house of taking drone pictures and videos at Impala premises without their consent which is an offence.
“It is also of great concern that you used a Drone to take pictures and videos at our client’s premises without their consent.”
In the event of failing to retract the story, the Mudimu Chambers said it will approach for recourse.
“… the failure we will approach the courts for recourse and you will bear the costs of litigation.”
Their story’s net effect was that the company in question is owned by the State security service Central intelligence Organisation (CIO)
