IT never rains but pours for Transport minister Obert Mpofu as only a week after his Allied Bank was closed, it has emerged that his other company, Trebo and Khays, is failing to pay more than 100 guards it employs.
The guards have reportedly gone for more than six months without pay.
An employee at Trebo and Khays, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said they last received their salaries in June and were struggling to make ends meet.
“We have been working for Mpofu within the security department, but the situation is very bad as it doesn’t look like any efforts are being made (to pay us),” he said.
“Bulawayo security guards are not the only ones affected, the others include those from Nyamandlovu and Gwanda.”
The employee said some of the workers had been evicted from their lodgings over non-payment of rentals as they had not received their salaries for half a year.
“Schools have been opened and children need fees and uniforms,” he said. “They should lead by example as leaders, but they are treating us like this.”
Another employee said the management should come out in the open and address workers.
“We need the management to tell us if our services at the company are no longer required,” he said.
“As a result of the non-payment, we are failing to make ends meet and have been surviving on handouts from friends and relatives.”
Trebo and Khays human resources manager, only identified as S Dube, declined to comment on the matter yesterday.
“I am not aware of all those allegations and we do not normally talk about our internal issues to the press,” she said.
“They know where to go if they have any complains.”
Efforts to get a comment from Mpofu were fruitless as his mobile phone went unanswered.
Mpofu is considered one of the richest people in the country and has in the past boasted he had never been poor.
However, his companies seem to be struggling as there have been several reports he was failing to pay his staff.
Mpofu’s Allied Bank recently surrendered its operating licence to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe immediately closing its doors to the public and bringing to an end its turbulent operations. – SouthernEye

You are right pal, God may appear silent but one day He will say I have heard my people’s cry and we will watch in great awe when God delivers people of Zimbabwe from these evil people and Zimbabwe will never be the same again.

If you go to many of the new A2 farms workers are not getting paid properly. A friend of mine who teaches sport at a ZPF bigwigs private school did not get paid most of her money for the last two terms of 2014. Many politicians are NOT paying their workers. Many politically connected people are NOT paying their workers. An ex house maid of mine is now working for a local Zimbo and is not getting paid. Someone last year said that Zimbabweans must be the only nation where people are so desperate for a job they for nothing. It is a strong biblical principle that a worker is worth his/her wages. If I had to do that to my staff, which I would not, I would be taken to labour but if you are employed by someone in ZPF or connected to someone in that party chances are high you will not be paid properly. I know what a messenger driver earns. And a friends husband has a new job driving. They will be underpaying him. That is why many shamwari’s tell me they prefer NOT to work for their own kind if possible. is that not sad? thousands of farm workers must be ruing the day they lost a farm boss who treated them properly????????? What goes around comes around. There are NO principles left in Zimbabwe today

It’s so pathetic that the so called liberators have turned to be the worst oppressors of their keith and kin yet he boasted that he was “too rich” to be corrupted. Obert Mpofu shld bury his head in shame. Zvichapera, there is time for everything, if you don’t know what happened to teurai ropa mujuru, newewe one day you will wake up and ask yrself what went wrong. How can you honestly have a sleep when yr loyal workers have not been paid for over six months?? Do you know how painful it is to be a guard, read this and laugh but yr time will come. People’s cries will be heard one day, what crime did people commit to be zimbabweans??
