Popular music producer and Big Brother Africa hopeful Dr Clarence (real name Clarence Patsika) has taken legal action against Chitungwiza Municipality (CM) whom he accuses of incompetence that is compromising his creative acumen.
Dr Clarence is suing CM for gross incompetence that has resulted in his loss of creativity due to mental stress.
He is claiming $1 500.
In his founding affidavit filed at the Chitungwiza Civil Court (case number 642/14), Dr Clarence alleges that he was harassed by some municipality employees when he went to pay his outstanding dues.
“The municipality officials refused to accept my outstanding dues and instead, forced me to sign an acknowledgment of debt form from their debt collectors, Mangwana and Partners.
“I asked the town clerk why they had hired a debt collecting firm based in Milton Park and yet Chitungwiza has the same skilled personnel in legal matters.
“That is when I was harassed and as a result, I have lost creativity in my works of art because the municipality is giving me stress,” read part of the affidavit.
“The municipality, which is supposed to represent us, is persecuting us. We have no tap water and access to (clean) water is my fundamental right but they dwell on trivialities,” further stated Dr Clarance.
The summons were delivered to CM early this week and they have acknowledged receipt.
They were given seven days to respond.
Dr Clarence has been resident in the dormitory town for more than two decades and he also operates an audio/visual studio there.
He has produced several hit songs including Stunner’s chart topper Ndini Ndine Staera
He is currently riding high with his series of comic videos that are getting rave reviews on the Internet.
The videos include Dr Clarence Cooking Show and Chiremba The Notorious Cop.
The videos are available on You Tube.
Meanwhile, Dr Clarence is among the top fifteen locals shortlisted to represent the country at the Big Brother House Hotshots set for launch on September 7 in South Africa. The Zimbabwe Mail
