By Own Correspondent| Woes mount for suspended ZBC head of news and current affairs Tazzen Mandizvidza after he was notified that he faced disciplinary hearing by the national broadcaster for writing to President Emmerson Mnangagwa complaining that his bosses were unfairly treating him.

In a letter from the national broadcaster’s lawyers Scanlen and Holderness, ZBC said:

“You are hereby notified that the corporation intends to commence disciplinary action against you in terms of the ZBC employment code of conduct (2018) for the following act of misconduct:

“Sometime in January 2018 you inappropriately wrote to His excellency the President of Zimbabwe without valid reason. In that you raised employment related grievances against your superiors and consequently undermined the employment relationship as well as your duty of subordination.”

Mandizvidza has since been slapped with a $1 million lawsuit over financial irregularities that plunged the State broadcaster into massive losses.

He was suspended, together with other bosses some four years ago, over misconduct prejudicial to the company, but was later conditionally rehired.

ZBC claims the debt was never cancelled and that the court should now issue an order compelling him to pay $1 083 362,09 with interest.
