Ram shrugs Mphoko's legal threat off

The Choppies Enterprises chief executive officer (CEO) Ramachandran Ottapathu says they will defend against a lawsuit filed by former Zimbabwean vice president, Phelekezela Mphoko and his son Siqokoqela, who are demanding about $22,585,714 for their shares in the company.
