Chances for suspended Harare Town Clerk Dr Tendai Mahachi to return to the Town House are getting slimmer by the day as the council’s human resources committee has placed him on indefinite leave.
Dr Mahachi, who was placed on three months forced leave, says he is still awaiting communication from the council through his lawyers.
The council’s human resources committee chairperson Councillor Wellington Chikombo says Town House fully supports the mayor’s decision, adding Dr Mahachi will not return to work until thorough investigations have been completed.
“Yes we placed Dr Mahachi on ad finitum leave and he will not be returning to the Town House soon. We endorsed the mayor’s decision because we cannot allow a situation where one person wants to behave with impunity,” said Councillor Chikombo.
In a telephone interview, Dr Mahachi professed ignorance on the matter.
He maintains council has not communicated with him.
Dr Mahachi, however, remains on his full salary and benefits.
