Ex-ZNNP boss wins US$31K compensation suit

THE High Court has ordered the Zimbabwe National Network for People Living with HIV (ZNNP+) to pay its former executive director Muchanyara Mukamuri US$31 000 following her dismissal.

Mukamuri had approached the court challenging a decision by ZNNP+ to pay her dues in local currency, saying this was unlawful because the organisation pays its employees in foreign currency.

ZNNP+ had opposed the application arguing that Mukamuri must be paid in local currency because she was based in Zimbabwe despite her being paid in foreign currency.
