High Court Suspends The Termination Of NetOne CEO's Employment Contract
Embattled NetOne CEO Lazarus Muchenje was yesterday granted a reprieve by the High court which suspended his employment contract termination till the labour dispute was settled in court, The Herald reports.
The matter was heard in justice Chinamora’s chambers where the NetOne Board CEO asked for a postponement of the matter in which Muchenje was challenging his contract termination.
Justice Chinamora granted Netone its request and deferred the case to 4 August 2020 but suspended Muchenje’s employment contract termination till the matter was finalised.
In issuing the interim order Justice Chinamora said:
The letter dated 9 July authored by the second respondent and addressed to the applicant shall not be put into effect. No publication shall be made by any of the respondents to the effect that applicant’s contract has been terminated.
Muchenje was fired on Friday hours after he had been reinstated and charges against him dropped.
