Hamutendi Kombayi to appeal against Kasukuwere's decision to fire him as Gweru Mayor

Former Gweru mayor, Hamutendi Kombayi, who was recently fired by Local Government minister, Saviour Kasukuwere will appeal against the decision at the High Court.

Kombayi together with Ward 4 councillor, Kenneth Sithole were fired by Kasukuwere on charges of abuse of office among others, but reinstated 10 councillors from MDC-T and three from Zanu PF. Kombayi’s charges included authorising payment of $1 875 towards MDC-T leader, Morgan Tsvangirai’s stay at Antelope Park and refusing to surrender his mayoral vehicle, a Mazda BT50, to council after he was suspended. Kombayi’s lawyer, Brian Dube told Southern Eye that they were preparing papers to make an appeal for review of the decision made by the tribunal against Kombayi.
